How do you push a tag to a remote repository using Git?

To push a single tag:

git push origin <tag_name>

And the following command should push all tags (not recommended):

# not recommendedgit push --tags

git git-push git-tag

git push --follow-tags

This is a sane option introduced in Git 1.8.3:

git push --follow-tags

It pushes both commits and only tags that are both:

This is sane because:

you should only push annotated tags to the remote, and keep lightweight tags for local development to avoid tag clashes. See also: What is the difference between an annotated and unannotated tag?
it won't push annotated tags on unrelated branches

It is for those reasons that --tags should be avoided.

Git 2.4 has added the push.followTags option to turn that flag on by default which you can set with:

git config --global push.followTags true

or by adding followTags = true to the [push] section of your ~/.gitconfig file.

git git-push git-tag

To push specific, one tag do followinggit push origin tag_name
