How do I use github tags to create downloads for my project?

Are there any special keywords or formats that need to be used? I've created a tag and pushed the latest version but it's not showing on github, nor has a a download been created (the one there is a manual upload by me).

I'm using GitX locally.

Here is my repo: https://github.com/gingerbeardman/monkey.tmbundle

Any ideas?

How do I use Git tags?

In order to create a Git tag for the last commit of your current checked out branch, use the “git tag” command with the tag name and specify “HEAD” as the commit to create the tag from. Similarly, if you want your tag to be annotated, you can still use the “-a” and “-m” options to annotate your tag.

Can you tag files in GitHub?

GitHub Desktop allows you to create annotated tags. Tags are associated with commits, so you can use a tag to mark an individual point in your repository's history, including a version number for a release. For more information about release tags, see "About releases."

Tags aren't pushed by default; try a git push --tags <remote>. That will sync all of your tags. If you want to push a single tag, use git push <remote> <tagname>.
