Add and view Git tags

See original GitHub issue

Update from GitHub Desktop team:

We’re working on this! Initial support for this will include creating, pushing, and viewing tags in Desktop. After reading all the comments in this issue and talking with several people who feel like they’re missing this, editing and deleting tags seemed fraught and had potential for unexpected things to happen between your local repo and the remote.


Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you’d like It would be awesome to have the ability to tag commits (e.g., the equivalent to the command-line git tag <tagname>), including the ability to move, delete, edit and push up tags to remote repository.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Just the command-line.

Teachability, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy Our team uses tags consistently for build and version numbers to keep deployments consistent and more easily trackable.

Actually, I kinda disagree with that sentiment. A thumbs up is simply a number, a comment is clearly a visible person that reminds you just how much people actually want this functionality that they take the time out of their day to leave an entire comment.

I can understand and appreciate that aspect of it. That said, if you like to leave comments, I’m not stopping you. I’m simply making people aware that there are tons of us out there that are basically getting spammed by “me too” comments and that many of us appreciate use of the “+1” 👍 reaction to cut down on that while still offering the repo maintainers the opportunity to see how many folks are excited for an issue to get addressed.

Folks, a simple 👍 on the original post is all that’s needed instead of the “me too” comments. They just create a bunch of unnecessary noise for everyone following this issue.
