Creating a tag in a SourceCraft repository

Tags mark key points in the repository's development history.

You can create a tag from a specific branch in the SourceCraft interface when creating a release, or in advance using git based on a branch or a specific commit.

To create a tag using git:

1. Clone the repository:

   1. Install Git.

   2. Open the SourceCraft home page.

   3. On the Home tab, under Your craftspace, navigate to Repositories and select your repository.

   4. In the top-right corner, click Clone.

   5. Depending on your connection method, copy the link for cloning the repository.

   6. In the terminal, run this command:

      git clone <link_for_cloning_repository>
      

   7. Go to your cloned repository:

      cd <repository_name>
      

2. Navigate to the commit you want to use as the basis for your release:

   • To navigate to the current state of the main branch:

     git checkout main
     

   • To navigate to a specific commit:

     git checkout <commit_hash>
     

     Tip

     For more information, see Viewing the commit history in SourceCraft.

3. Create a tag and push the changes to the remote repository:

   git tag -a <tag_name> -m "<description>"
   git push --tags
