Does `git --no-pager tag` show\nall tags?\n\nWhat do the following things return:\n\n  echo $LESS\n  echo $GIT_PAGER\n  git config core.pager\n  git config pager.tag\n  \nKind regards, Kevin\n"},{"id":"413437","messageId":"X/QLds2oVvOAF1nb@coredump.intra.peff.net","threadId":"54931","inReplyTo":"MQFZ9EW--3-2@tuta.io","subject":"Re: git tag truncates tag list","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2021-01-05T06:47:18Z","receivedAt":"2021-01-05T06:48:01Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Tue, Jan 05, 2021 at 04:39:20AM +0100, stratus@tuta.io wrote:\n\n> git tag misses out some tags from this repo here, there seem to be too many to show:\n> \n> https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux\n> \n> It cuts the list short, losing either the latest ones with simply \n> git tag\n>  or the earliest using either \n> git tag  --sort=-creatordate\n>   or \n> git tag --sort=-taggerdate\n> \n>  Is there some config option somewhere to show the full list?\n\nI see 680 tags with all of those commands, which matches the number of\ntags reported by:\n\n  git ls-remote --tags --refs \\\n    https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux\n\nPerhaps a silly question, but which tags do you think are missing? Are\nyou confused that 5.10 and 5.11 do not show up at the end? If so, it's\nbecause they sort byte-wise between 5.1 and 5.2. So they're there, just\nnot at the end, with \"git tag\". When sorting by creatordate or\ntaggerdate, they appear at the beginning (because you chose a descending\nsort).\n\n-Peff\n"}]}
