Creating Tags

Git supports two types of tags: lightweight and annotated. In gCube we use lightweight tag to mark a specific point in the repository’s history.

The following command creates a tag on the last commit in the current branch:

$ git tag <tagname>

However, tags can be created anytime in the project's history.

You will have to explicitly push tags to a shared server after you have created them.

$ git push origin <tagname>

We tag only the master branch
Tags are used to mark releases
Tags are applied after the related gCube release is declared closed
The tag name must be in the format "vX.Y" or "vX.Y.Z" (where X,Y,Z are follow the versioning schema major.minor[.build])
