In order to list remote Git tags, you have to use the “git ls-remote” command with the “–tags” option and the name of your remote repository.
To fetch tags from your remote repository, use “git fetch” with the “–all” and the “–tags” options. Let's say for example that you have a tag named “v1. 0” that you want to check out in a branch named “release”. Using this command, you have successfully checked out the “v1.
Select and expand the "Tags" tab on the left. Right-Click on the tag you want deleted. Select "Delete YOUR_TAG_NAME" In the verification window, select "Remove Tag From Remotes"
To view your remote branches, simply pass the -r flag to the git branch command. You can inspect remote branches with the usual git checkout and git log commands. If you approve the changes a remote branch contains, you can merge it into a local branch with a normal git merge .
You can list the tags on remote repository with ls-remote, and then check if it's there. Supposing the remote reference name is origin in the following.
git ls-remote --tags origin
And you can list tags local with tag.
git tag
You can compare the results manually or in script.
Even without cloning or fetching, you can check the list of tags on the upstream repo with git ls-remote:
git ls-remote --tags /url/to/upstream/repo
(as illustrated in "When listing git-ls-remote why there's “^{}” after the tag name?")
xbmono illustrates in the comments that quotes are needed:
git ls-remote --tags /some/url/to/repo "refs/tags/MyTag^{}"
Note that you can always push your commits and tags in one command with (git 1.8.3+, April 2013):
git push --follow-tags
See Push git commits & tags simultaneously.
Regarding Atlassian SourceTree specifically:
Note that, from this thread, SourceTree ONLY shows local tags.
There is an RFE (Request for Enhancement) logged in SRCTREEWIN-4015 since Dec. 2015.
A simple workaround:
see a list of only unpushed tags?
git push --tags
or check the "
Push all tags" box on the "Push" dialog box, all tags will be pushed to your remote.
That way, you will be "sure that they are present in remote so that other developers can pull them".
