How to delete a git tag locally and remote
Today I made a mistake of publishing a wrong git
tag and I asked myself: What the fuck do I do now?
So I did some research and found this gist from mobilemind.
The solution
# to delete a local tag just run e.g.: v1.9.1
git tag -d v1.9.1
# if you already published (like me)
git tag -d v1.9.1
git push origin :refs/tags/v1.9.1
# another approach
git push --delete origin v1.9.1
git tag -d v1.9.1
Conclusion
Always double-check before pushing something to remote 😂
Happy codding
