Push the tag to the remote and publish.
Publishing a release
Tags created in your local repository remain on your computer until they are pushed to the remote repository. You can send a release tag to GitHub using the git push origin v3.0.0 command. This makes the same release point available in the remote repository.
git tag -a v3.0.0 -m "Release 3.0.0"
git push origin v3.0.0Pushing tags to a remote repository
To push a single tag, add its name to the git push command. If you want to push multiple local tags together, you can use git push origin --tags. This command transfers local tags to the remote repository; it is not the same operation as pushing a regular branch.
# Single tag
git push origin v3.0.0
# All tags
git push origin --tagsPractice Publish the release tag
Push the v4.0.0 tag to the origin remote repository. Then write the command that pushes all local tags as well. Use two separate lines.
