Publish

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 v3.0.0

Pushing 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 --tags

Exercise Publish the release tag
