====== 'git' Tags ======

===== List All Existing Tags With Type =====

List all existing tags with type, annotated or lighweight:

<codedoc code>
git for-each-ref refs/tags
</codedoc>


\\
Or to check the type of a single tag //''tagname''//:

<codedoc code>
git cat-file -t ~~codedoc:<em>tagname</em>~~
</codedoc>


\\
If the reported type is **''tag''**, it's an annotated tag, i.e. a git object incuding the tagger and a tag message.

If the reported type is **''commit''**, it's lightweight, i.e. just a pointer to the specified commit.


\\
===== Synchronize Tags With a Remote =====

Force-synchronize tags from a remote, even if a local tag with the same tag name already exists:

<codedoc code>
git fetch ~~codedoc:<em>origin</em>~~ ~~codedoc:clean:--tags --force~~
</codedoc>
