Create

• Two types of tags, lightweight and annotated, prefer annotated.
• Use the -a option to createa an annotated tag.

$ git tag -a v0.0.1 -m "first tag"
$ git tag
v0.0.1

Sharing Tags: By default, the git push command does not transfer tags to remote servers. You will have to explicitly push tags to a shared server after you have created them. This process is just like sharing remote branches — you can run git push origin <tagname>.
