What do these release tags mean on a github commit page?

I wanted to check the earliest release tag associated with a commit on github but I dont know what do these tags actually mean on the commit description page?

Solution

  • The tags listed there are the tags which contain this commit. The latest one is on the left. This is so that people can tell what versions a commit that fixed their problem is included in. This can be determined with a clone of the repository, but this is simpler than performing a full clone for that purpose.

    In this case, it probably means that the commit was first included in 2.13.0.
