Git tags don't show up as GitHub releases

Tags:

git

github

So... I have a Git repository on my desktop computer that is linked to a GitHub repository. When I do:

git tag -a -F C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Local\Temp\git-tag-message-4665532737910125701.txt v0.1 63f5

the tag doesn't show up as a release on the GitHub website. (Note: An IDE handles all of the Git->GitHub stuff for me) Do I have to "push" something after I make a tag?

Are tags the same thing as GitHub releases?

Releases are based on Git tags, which mark a specific point in your repository's history. A tag date may be different than a release date since they can be created at different times. For more information about viewing your existing tags, see "Viewing your repository's releases and tags."

How do I see tags on GitHub?

Viewing tags On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. To the right of the list of files, click Releases. At the top of the Releases page, click Tags.

Do I have to "push" something after I make a tag?

Yes:

git push --tags

(since GitHub releases are based on git tags)
