1 min read

Git tags are used for establishing versions of products. They usually use Semver Versioning.

Because tags often specify specific changes in code, sometimes updates need to be added to specific tags. This update can be made in a few simple steps.

Establish tags

BASH
git tag

Delete tag

BASH
git push origin :refs/tags/[tag version]

Finally, re-create the tag by following your initial steps for setting up git tags.
