Snapshot identifiers in git?

I'm a bit confused. Is there a way to put down some dedicated snapshots, labels on a branch in git? I know, every commit is snapshot, but you would still want some label easily identifying the source code resulting build 0.9.1, right?

In other words: in some cases you might want to download a codebase belonging to a certain version of a SW. How do you find the right snapshot to download?

Solution

  • I would suggest that you use git tag during the creation of specific code that is linked to some feature.
