Combine the tag flow to mark a release point.
Release Tagging Workflow
When a release is ready, you can mark its commit with a tag. An annotated tag lets you store a message and additional metadata about the release.
git tag -a v2.0.0 -m "Version 2.0.0"
git push origin v2.0.0After pushing the tag to the remote repository, other team members can access this release marker.
Practice Create and Push a Release Tag
Store the release commands in a JavaScript array in the correct order: first git tag -a v3.0.0 -m "Major release", then git push origin v3.0.0. Print the commands in order using forEach.
Starter code
const releaseCommands = [
// Etiket oluşturma ve gönderme komutlarını ekle
];
// Komutları sırayla yazdırSample solution
const releaseCommands = [
"git tag -a v3.0.0 -m \"Major release\"",
"git push origin v3.0.0"
];
releaseCommands.forEach(command => console.log(command));Expected output
git tag -a v3.0.0 -m "Major release" git push origin v3.0.0
