  1. Create a git repo as normal

  2. Make changes to the code base

  3. git add .

  4. git commit -m <message>

  5. git tag -a <tag id> -m <message relating to the tag>

  6. git push origin <tag id>master

  7. git push origin master<tag id>

Lines 6 and 7 can be swapped.

Info

The reason for line 7 is because by default git push does not push the tags. Tags have to be explicitly passed to git remote.

To push multiple tags simultaneously pass the --tags option to git push command. When another user clones or pulls a repo they will receive the new tags.

Use the following convention for <tag id> vX.Y e.g. v1.4

As an example here is a git tag command - git tag -a v1.4 -m “some message”

Use this batch script to do the heavy lifting
