In-Depth Information
move any tags that were removed in the remote repository. To synchronize your tags
with remote tags use:
$ git fetch --tags
Using tags
Tags can be used just as any other identifiers of revisions. You can pass them to
$ git
branch
,
$ git checkout
, and
$ git reset
commands, such as:
$ git reset --hard v1.2.3
$ git checkout -b my-new-branch v1.2.3
Hint
You can treat tags as branches that cannot move.

$ cd git-recipes
$ mkdir 13-12
