When I push from TortoiseGit, tags are not included by default. In a recent update, however, an option was added to help with this. There is now a check box in the push dialog to "include tags". How do I set this to enabled by default?
I don't want to forget to add the check when I want to push a tag. A this point, I don't use any tags locally which I don't want to push and thus share with other developers.
I tried adding
[push]
followTags = true
to my gitconfig file (local, global, systemwide, tgitconfig...) which TortoiseGit lets you edit from Settings->Git, but that neither set the switch, nor performed the action when I pushed...

Right click on the commit you want to tag, and click Create Tag at this version... Back to Log Message dialog, right click on that tag label, click Push "tag_name"...
Sharing tags is similar to pushing branches. By default, git push will not push tags. Tags have to be explicitly passed to git push .
Sharing Tags You will have to explicitly push tags to a shared server after you have created them. This process is just like sharing remote branches — you can run git push origin <tagname> . If you have a lot of tags that you want to push up at once, you can also use the --tags option to the git push command.
The git push command is used to upload local repository content to a remote repository. Pushing is how you transfer commits from your local repository to a remote repo. It's the counterpart to git fetch , but whereas fetching imports commits to local branches, pushing exports commits to remote branches.
As of today TortoiseGit (v. 2.1.0) doesn't remember the "push tags" state.
However, as a workaround you can configure your remote you push to to always push all tags, e.g. put something like that in your .git/config:
[remote "origin"]
url = ...
push = ... (your old push line)
push = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
The + at the beginning indicates to force push all remote tags (remove the prefix in order to prevent that).
