How to only push a specific tag to remote? [duplicate]
Is there a command like git push --tag tag_a? I only found git push --tags.
Solution 1:
You can simply use:
git push origin tag_a
Alternatively (mainly to solve tag/branch name clashes), you could use:
git push origin refs/tags/tag_a
Solution 2:
As pointed out by Pavel Šimerda, you can simply do
git push <remote> <tag>
I've added the specification for a remote <remote> so that the command doesn't depend on a user's push.default configuration.
Here is a summary of the relevant documentation that explains how to push a specific tag:
git push [<repository> [<refspec>…]] <refspec>...The format of a
<refspec>parameter is…the source ref<src>, followed by a colon:, followed by the destination ref<dst>…The
<dst>tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this push…If:<dst>is omitted, the same ref as<src>will be updated…tag
<tag>means the same asrefs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>.
