How do I sync tags to a forked github repo?

I forked a repository on github and use the "fetch and merge" button on the web page to sync the latest code to my fork. I noticed that the code gets updated but new tags from the master repro don't end up in my fork. How do I make that happen?

Solution 1:

You would need, in command-line, to fetch tags

git fetch --tags upstream

Assuming upstream is the remote name referencing the original repository URL.

Then push tags to your fork

git push --tags

If you want to push only the tags from the branch you are pushing:

git config --global push.followTags true

That way, a simple git push is enough.
