Using Git tags is a simple way to keep track of important versions in your project.
Whether you're releasing a new feature or marking a milestone, tags help in labeling specific commits.
This makes it easier to go back, review, or even share different stages of your codebase with collaborators.
Let’s find out how to set up versioning with Git tags with the following demo.
Steps to follow:
1. Navigate to your local Git repository using the terminal.
2. Ensure you are on the correct branch where you want to create a tag by using the command 'git branch'.
3. To view your commit history before tagging, use the 'git log' command.
4. To see your version history before tagging, use the command 'git tag'.
5. To create a new tag, use the following command 'git tag -a v1.0.2 -m "Release version 1.0.2"'.
6. After creating the tag, push it to the remote repository with the command 'git push origin v1.0.2'.
7. The new version has been successfully pushed to the repository.
8. A new version has been successfully added to the repository.
That's it! This is how to set up versioning using Git tags.
