How to list unpushed Git tags

You can use the following to see the tags that exist locally but not in the specified remote:

git show-ref --tags | grep -v -F "$(git ls-remote --tags <remote name> | grep -v '\^{}' | cut -f 2)"

Note that git ls-remote shows both the annotated tag and the commit it points to with ^{}, so we need to remove the duplicates.

An alternative is to use the --dry-run/-n flags to git push:

git push --tags --dry-run

This will show what changes would have been pushed, but won't actually make these changes.

git git-remote git-tag

For the record, I am using a variant of this with the 'comm' command:

comm -23 <(git show-ref --tags | cut -d ' ' -f 2) <(git ls-remote --tags origin | cut -f 2)

I am using it as a git alias in .gitconfig, with proper bash quoting like this:

[alias]    unpushed-tags = "!bash -c \"comm -23 <(git show-ref --tags | cut -d ' ' -f 2) <(git ls-remote --tags origin | cut -f 2)\""
