Git how to check what are all the tags in current changeset

In my remote github repository there can be multiple tags created for one change set. After I clone the github repository to local how can I check what are all the tags in the latest change set

git describe --abbrev=0 --tags only passes the latest tag in the latest change set. But I want to get all the tags in current change-set.

Solution

  • One quick option would be:

    git log -1 --decorate=on

    It will show you all tags pointing to the latest commit. Example:

    commit f05c2e0b8 (HEAD -> master, tag: foo, tag: bar)

    You could also pipe the output through grep to see the tag names only:

    git log -1 --pretty=%d | grep -oP '(?<=tag: )[^,^)]+'

    Result:

    foo
bar
