Can I push a tag to current pushed git?

Is it possible to push a tag to currently pushed file in github? I have searched through Google but no clue at all. Thanks!

Solution

  • Update As Abizern and fork0 mentioned in the comments, you can tag any git object. In any case, git push --tags <remote> <branch> will solve the problem.

    As Shahbaz has mentioned tags are for commits, not files. If you're asking about pushing a tag to an already pushed commit, yes, you can do that. Create the tag (using git tag) and enter,

    git push --tags <remote> <branch>

    Replace <remote> with the remote name (eg: origin) and <branch> with the branch name (eg: master). This will push all local tags in <branch> that haven't been pushed before.
