To create an annotated tag, run the +following git command: + +``` +git tag -a <tag name> +``` + +For example, `git tag -a 2.3.4` to tag version 2.3.4. Your text editor will +open, and you'll be prompted to *annotate* the tag - fill this in with release +notes, a changelog, etc. Consider using +[`git-shortlog`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-shortlog) to generate your +changelog. + +Save and close your editor, then use `git push --tags` to publish the new tag +(or, use `git push --follow-tags` to push any local commits to the current +branch, along with the new tag. This can be made the default by running `git +config --global push.followTags true`). + +The new tag will appear on the "refs" page of your repository. To attach files +to it, click the tag name (e.g. "2.3.4") and use the upload form on this page. + ## Source code annotations You can generate annotations for your source code to display on git.sr.ht.
