I am new to GIT. Last week I checked out my code to a tag. I forgot the tag name and apparently have some issue with code, so I want to know which tag I checked out from. How can I find that?

You can use the
git describecommand to find the “closest” tag associated with your current commit:For example, in a sample repository this gives me:
This means I am at commit
g25a38be, which is two commits beyond the tagtesttag.
