Push git commits & tags simultaneously
@since Git 2.4
git push --atomic origin <branch name> <tag>
Update August 2020
As mentioned originally in this answer by SoBeRich, and in my own answer, as of git 2.4.x
git push --atomic origin <branch name> <tag>
(Note: this actually work with HTTPS only with Git 2.24)
Update May 2015
As of git 2.4.1, you can do
git config --global push.followTags true
If set to true enable --follow-tags option by default.
You may override this configuration at time of push by specifying --no-follow-tags.
As noted in this thread by Matt Rogers answering Wes Hurd:
--follow-tags
only pushes annotated tags.
git tag -a -m "I'm an annotation" <tagname>
That would be pushed (as opposed to git tag <tagname>
, a lightweight tag, which would not be pushed, as I mentioned here)
Update April 2013
Since git 1.8.3 (April 22d, 2013), you no longer have to do 2 commands to push branches, and then to push tags:
The new "
--follow-tags
" option tells "git push
" to push relevant annotated tags when pushing branches out.
You can now try, when pushing new commits:
git push --follow-tags
That won't push all the local tags though, only the one referenced by commits which are pushed with the git push
.
Git 2.4.1+ (Q2 2015) will introduce the option push.followTags
: see "How to make “git push
” include tags within a branch?".
Original answer, September 2010
The nuclear option would be git push --mirror
, which will push all refs under refs/
.
You can also push just one tag with your current branch commit:
git push origin : v1.0.0
You can combine the --tags
option with a refspec like:
git push origin --tags :
(since --tags
means: All refs under refs/tags
are pushed, in addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command line)
You also have this entry "Pushing branches and tags with a single "git push" invocation"
A handy tip was just posted to the Git mailing list by Zoltán Füzesi:
I use
.git/config
to solve this:
[remote "origin"]
url = ...
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
push = +refs/heads/*
push = +refs/tags/*
With these lines added
git push origin
will upload all your branches and tags. If you want to upload only some of them, you can enumerate them.Haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks like it might be useful until some other way of pushing branches and tags at the same time is added to git push.
On the other hand, I don't mind typing:$ git push && git push --tags
Beware, as commented by Aseem Kishore
push = +refs/heads/*
will force-pushes all your branches.
This bit me just now, so FYI.
René Scheibe adds this interesting comment:
The
--follow-tags
parameter is misleading as only tags under.git/refs/tags
are considered.
Ifgit gc
is run, tags are moved from.git/refs/tags
to.git/packed-refs
. Afterwardsgit push --follow-tags ...
does not work as expected anymore.
Let's say you have created a new repo on github. So the first step would be to clone the repo:git clone {Your Repo URL}
You do your work, add some files, code etc., then push your changes with:
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git push
Now our changes are in main branch. Let's create a tag:
git tag v1.0.0 # creates tag locally
git push origin v1.0.0 # pushes tag to remote
If you want to delete the tag:
git tag --delete v1.0.0 # deletes tag locally
git push --delete origin v1.0.0 # deletes remote tag
