Script to delete all tags both locally and remotely

git-deletealltags.bsh

for t in `git tag`
do
    git push origin :$t
    git tag -d $t
done

@mauris that Gist is a 404 now.

For anybody looking for a Windows version, I created a Gist below with the commands I used to remove all Tags on Windows. The Linux command xargs would not work. I would get an xargs: cannot fork: Permission denied error. Figured out I need to use the FOR command in Windows.

We use bitbucket to host our git repo, and the commands above didn't work. This one did:

for tag in `git tag -l`
do
  git tag -d $tag
  git push -v origin :refs/tags/$tag
done

Very useful for cleaning up after testing some CI tools.

git tag -l | xargs -n 1 git push --delete origin

fatal: --delete doesn't make sense without any refs

@jmrobison, thanks, worked!

For the issue with --delete doesn't make sense without any refs here's how I delete all the tags for 1.3.* :
git ls-remote --tags origin | awk '/^(.*)(1\.3\.\d+)$/ {print ":" $2}' | xargs git push origin
