It’s a common DevOps practice<\/a> to tag a specific commit id whenever there is a release. Also, developers tag specific commits for several uses cases.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the application release process<\/a>, whenever there is a hotfix, the fix starts from the commit id<\/code> that was tagged for release.<\/p>\n

In this blog, you will learn the follwing.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Checkout a particular git tag<\/li>\n
  2. git clone from a tag<\/li>\n
  3. merge a git tag to a branch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Checkout Git Tag<\/h2>\n

    Let’s look at different options associated with checking out a git tag.<\/p>\n

    Checkout a Git Tag To Branch<\/h3>\n

    Now that you know the list of available tags, you can check out a particular tag.<\/p>\n

    For example, if you want to checkout a tag v.1.0<\/code> to a branch named hotfix-1.0<\/code>, you can do so using the following git command.<\/p>\n

    git checkout tags\/v.1.0 -b hotfix-1.0<\/code><\/pre>\n
    List Git Tags<\/h3>\n
    When you clone a repository, all the tags associated with the repository will be pulled down.<\/p>\n
    To fetch all the remote tags, use the fetch command as shown below.<\/p>\n
    git fetch --tags<\/code><\/pre>\n
    You can list down all the tags from the git repository using the following command.<\/p>\n
    git tag -l <\/code><\/pre>\n
    You can also search for tags with patterns.<\/p>\n
    git tag -l \"v*\"<\/code><\/pre>\n
    To get the latest git tag, you can use the following command.<\/p>\n
    git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Get Git Tag Information<\/h3>\n
    If you get the commit id and other information associated with a tag using the following command.<\/p>\n
    git show v.1.0<\/code><\/pre>\n
    \"git<\/figure>\n
    Clone from a git tag<\/h2>\n
    Cloning a specific git tag is very useful for debugging and other purposes.<\/p>\n
    To clone a particular tag, you can use the clone command as shown below.<\/p>\n
    git clone -b <git-tagname> <repository-url> <\/code><\/pre>\n
    For example,<\/p>\n
    git clone -b v.1.0 <\/code><\/pre>\n
    When you clone a tag, it will be in the detached HEAD state.<\/p>\n
    If you need to checkout to a new branch if you want to make changes to the tag as explained above.<\/p>\n
    \"Clone<\/figure>\n
    Merge a git tag to a branch<\/h2>\n
    Following command merges a particular tag to the current branch.<\/p>\n
    git merge tag_name<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Let’s say you want to merge the latest tag to the current branch, you can use the following command.<\/p>\n
    git merge $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))<\/code><\/pre>\n
    If it a local branch, you can push the changes to the upstream branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
    Conclusion<\/h2>\n
    Git tagging is very important when it comes to CI\/CD pipeline.<\/p>\n
    Make sure you follow the right set of practices in git tagging and creating branches from git tags.<\/p>\n
