How To create and push a Git tag in GitLab

 To create and push a Git tag in GitLab, follow these steps:

1. Create a Tag Locally

You can create a tag using Git on your local machine.

• To create a lightweight tag:

  git tag <tag_name>
  

• To create an annotated tag (with a message):

  git tag -a <tag_name> -m "Tag message"
  

For example:

git tag v1.0.0 -m "Initial release"

2. Push the Tag to GitLab

Once you've created the tag locally, you need to push it to the GitLab repository:

• Push a specific tag:

  git push origin <tag_name>
  

  Example:

  git push origin v1.0.0
  

• Push all tags:

  git push origin --tags
  

3. Verify the Tag in GitLab

Once the tag has been pushed, you can verify it in the GitLab interface:

• Go to your GitLab repository.
• Navigate to Repository > Tags to see the list of available tags.
