Git list tags on branch
Git Tags
Git tags are markers used to highlight specific commits in the history of your Git repository. Unlike branches, which move as you add new commits, tags are static and generally used for labelling important points, like releases (v1.0, v2.0, etc.).

Importance and Use Cases for Tagging in Git
Tags play an important role in software versioning and release management.
They help developers quickly locate specific versions or builds. Whether for version numbering or marking significant changes, tags are an efficient way to label different states of a project.
Tags are often utilized when:
- Updating release versions (e.g., v1.0, v2.0).
- Denoting milestones or substantial points in the process of development.
- Assisting in versioning control and deployment stages.
Understanding Git Tags
Difference Between Lightweight and Annotated Tags
- Lightweight Tags: These types of tags are just pointers to a commit without any other additional metadata.
They are super quick and uncomplicated to create but they do not keep any extra details.
- Annotated Tags:
- git show tag message
- git show tag history
