How to remove all git origin and local tags?

Question

How do you remove a git tag that has already been pushed? Delete all git remote (origin) tags and Delete all git local tags.

Answer 1

1. Delete All local tags. (Optional Recommended)

   git tag -d $(git tag -l)
   

2. Fetch remote All tags. (Optional Recommended)

   git fetch
   

3. Delete All remote tags.

   # Note: pushing once should be faster than multiple times
   git push origin --delete $(git tag -l) 
   

4. Delete All local tags.

   git tag -d $(git tag -l)
   

Answer 2

For windows using command prompt:

Deleting local tags:

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %a in ('git tag -l') do git tag -d %a

Deleting remote tags:

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %a in ('git tag -l') do git push --delete origin %a

Answer 3

The main answer didn't work for me.

This failed:

git push origin --delete $(git tag -l)

Error:

fatal: --delete doesn't make sense without any refs

That's because I had NO local tags!

git tag -l showed nothing, even after running git fetch to supposedly fetch all remote tags!

BUT, the following worked!:

Under certain, rare circumstances, where you have remote tags on GitHub but no local tags, for instance, you may need to manually specify the tags to delete.

Go to https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME/tags (ex: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/sublime_gcode/tags) to view all remote tags.

Mine showed tags 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. Delete them manually with:

To delete remote tags manually:

# General format to delete a **remote** tag on remote named "origin"
git push --delete origin <tag_name>

# My case exactly
git push --delete origin 1.0.0
git push --delete origin 1.0.1

To delete local tags manually:

# list all tags
git tag
# OR (same thing): 
git tag -l

# delete a local tag
git tag -d <tag_name>
# Example: delete local tag named `1.0.0`
git tag -d 1.0.0
