git tag myTag
git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
git tag --list
git show myTag
git tag --list
git tag --delete myTag

//Annotated tags are tags with more information, like comments, associated with them.

git tag -a v-1.0
git tag --list
git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
git show v-1.0

//Comparing tags
//Tags mark important milestones in a project, so they are great way to compare what has happened between those milestones

git diff v-1.0 v-1.2
//or
git difftool v-1.0 v-1.2

//Tagging a Specific Comment
//If you forget to tag a commit in the past, you can simply pass in the commit id while creating the tag.

git tag -a v-0.9-beta 96ef75b

//Updating Tags
//Sometimes mistakes happen and you'll need to update a tag.
//(use -f to forse)

git tag -a v-0.8-alpha -f bd35d46

//Remote Tagging (GitHub)
//Pushing concrete tag to remote repository

git push origin v-1.1

//Pushing all tags to remote
git push origin master --tags

//Remove particular tag from remote
git push origin :v-0.8-alpha
