- You can use the web UI to create a tag, but it will only create the tag from the current version (most recent commit). The tag is automatically created when you create a new release in the git UI.
- Skip directly to 'Create a Release'
(Choose this option if you need to create a tag that is earlier than the most recent commit)
git tag v1.0.0 <commit ID>
note - v1.0.0 is the tag name, and commitID refers to the last commit in your MVP
you can find the commit ID using git log
, or using the history tab in the github web ui
if done correctly, you should see something like this in the git log
if you messed up, you can delete the tag using git tag -d <tag_name>
Verify that everything looks good, then git push origin <tag_name>
Your newly created tag should appear in your tags page on the web UI
