Tag Title Release For Free

Tags are ref's that point to specific points in Git history. Tagging is generally used to capture a point in history that is used for a marked version release (i.e. v1. 0.1). A tag is like a branch that doesn't change. Unlike branches, tags, after being created, have no further history of commits.

To choose a tag for the release, select the Choose a tag dropdown menu. To use an existing tag, click the tag. To create a new tag, type a version number for your release, then click Create new tag.

On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. To the right of the list of files, click Releases. Scroll down to the "Assets" section of the release. To download the source code, click Source code (zip) or Source code (tar.gz).

A Git tag is similar to a Git reference, but the Git commit that it points to never changes. Git tags are helpful when you want to point to specific releases. These endpoints allow you to read and write tag objects to your Git database on GitHub. The API only supports annotated tag objects, not lightweight tags.

Follow the steps below to create a tag for a specific commit: Track Files. After making changes to existing files or adding new ones to the repository, add all files to the staging environment by running: ... Create Commit. Create a commit using the git commit command. Create Tag. ... Sync Changes with Remote.

You can name the tag to reflect the version number (such as v1.2.3 ) and include a brief description of the changes in the release. This allows you to easily reference the specific version of the released codebase. It is also easy to roll back to the previous version if necessary.

To create a release from an annotated git tag, first create one locally with git, push the tag to GitHub, then run this command. Use --notes-from-tag to automatically generate the release notes from the annotated git tag.
