Git Tagging

Git tagging is like a mark where you mark a specific commit so that you can track how many commits ahead you are from that mark (tag)
A tag can only mark a commit, not multiple commits

# commit something first

# tag a commit (will tag last commit)
git tag -a v1.0 -m 'An intelligent message'

# tag a specific commit (eg. 8b6741d)
git tag -a v1.0 -m 'An intelligent message' 8b6741d

# to see all the tags you have
git tag -l 'v1.*'

# to see the tagged commit
git show v1.0
