Using the command git tag lists out all available tags:

$ git tag
<output follows>
v0.1
v1.3

Note: the tags are output in an alphabetical order.

One may also search for available tags:

$ git tag -l "v1.8.5*"
<output follows>
v1.8.5
v1.8.5-rc0
v1.8.5-rc1
v1.8.5-rc2
v1.8.5-rc3
v1.8.5.1
v1.8.5.2
v1.8.5.3
v1.8.5.4
v1.8.5.5

Create a tag:

• To create a tag on your current branch:

  git tag < tagname >
  

  This will create a local tag with the current state of the branch you are on.

• To create a tag with some commit:

  git tag tag-name commit-identifier
  

  This will create a local tag with the commit-identifier of the branch you are on.

Push a commit in GIT:

• Push an individual tag:

  git push origin tag-name
  

• Push all the tags at once

  git push origin --tags
