tags disappear

James· Oct 28, 2007, 04:01 UTC · lore

Hi all,

Sorry for the dumb question. Hoping someone can lead me in the right direction.

I use git in a pretty basic setup. One branch, I'm the only user, etc. When I set up a tag (with a command like "git tag v1.1.6"), and then push the changes to the server, the tag doesn't remain when I clone the tree somewhere else.

Can anyone explain why, and possibly how to keep tags on a push/clone?

Thanks! .james

You need to push the tag to the server with:
  git push server tag v1.1.6

But you should make such takes annotated with "git tag -a" so they are proper objects in their own right, rather than just refs pointing at commits.
