git add . | |
git ci -m "Fix included" | |
or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier | |
git cherry-pick {num_commit} | |
3) Delete and recreate the tag locally | |
git tag -d {tagname} | |
git tag {tagname} | |
4) Delete and recreate the tag remotely | |
git push origin :{tagname} // deletes original remote tag | |
git push origin {tagname} // creates new remote tag | |
5) Update local repository with the updated tag (suggestion by @wyattis) | |
git fetch --tags | |
This is based on https://gist.github.com/739288 thanks to nickfloyd for it |
Thanks
Saved me a few hours futzing around trying to update a dozen or so tags. Feels totally wrong and against the idea of tag in the first place, but sometimes tags just don't work the exact way a project requires!
Thanks a lot.
Felt a bit wrong deleting my tag remotely, but worked out perfectly. Thanks very much!
Side note, everywhere I go on the internet, I seem to see traces of @geerlingguy pop up! 🤣
Thanks.
