Question

I have a git repository set up that looks something like this:

          PROD
         /
BARE_REPO — TEST
        \
         DEV

I do all my development on dev (obviously). This is also where I create my tags. When something is ready to go to our TEST environment I do a git tag -a 03/01/201a and then a git push. Then I ssh into TEST and perform a git pull.

If I type git tag on dev it lists a bunch of tags whereas if I do a git tag on TEST or PROD it only shows my very first tag. Apparently git add . does not add tags to be committed and pushed. I want all three environments to share tags so that if something goes wonky in PROD or TEST I can simply roll back to the previous tag.

Any help on “pushing” tags (if that’s even a thing)?

Thank you.

You need to run git push --tags to push tags.
