  • How to rename a GIT tag

    Once in a while (yet often enough) it happens that I have to change an already pushed git tag. Usually because I violated my own naming scheme.
    Yet I also somehow can’t keep the necesserry commands in mind:

    git tag newTag oldTag
    git tag -d oldTag
    git push origin :refs/tags/oldTag
    

    Basically it is just: copy/link newTag to oldTag, remove oldTag, delete remote oldTag.
    Also see the git man page for further parameters.
