In GitExtensions, how to click shortcuts so others can pull them

Question

A small devteam with which I recently recently switched "cold turkey" to Visual SourceSafe and started using Git (Windows, Visual Studio 2008, etc. pretty vanilla stuff). We use GitExtensions and are still so good, we really love it!

We have what we call a “shared repo” on one of our file servers, which we click and extract to split the code.

Now, when a person is primarily responsible for deploying code in the production process, I usually pull and figure out all the merging into my own repo. Then I deploy the code to our test environment and repeat until ready. After he is ready to go to our production server, I will name the final merge / commit in my repo, deploy the code, and then return it back to the general repo.

But when the others pull after that, they don’t see my shortcuts.

So here I am: what's the trick? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

By default, git push does not click tags. You need to use the --tags options

 git push --tags 

Please note that this only pushes tags.

Answer 2

You can click the tag using:

 $ git push <remote name> <tag name> 

If you want to click all tags, use

 $ git push --tags 

Answer 3

You need to push the label (tag) to the remote repository before others can receive them.

In GitExtensions, in the dialog box, click the "tags" tab. Then select the tag you want to click, or select "push all tags". Click the button and the tags will be transferred to the remote repository.

When others pull, they will receive all the tags that are in the remote repository.
