How can I add Git tags in Bitbucket?

Question

I'm hosting my code on Bitbucket using Git. My local client is EGit (eclipse plugin). I created a tag locally (Team -> Advanced -> Tag) and then pushed it to remote repository. But when I open my repository page, I can't find tags there. I'm pretty sure the tag can be seen locally.

I'm not a Git expert. But it seems to me there are several types of tags in Git. Does Bitbucket only show certain types of tags?

Answer 1

Did you click the button "Add All Tags Spec" in Push Wizard in Eclipse? If not, try it. Or if you have access to console version of git just perform:

git push --tags

Answer 2

You can also add the tag directly in the Bitbucket UI. Look at Commits, choose a specific commit and then in the details on the right side of the page, click the +-button after No tags.

is this the same answer as Brian van Rooijen's (https://mcmap.net/q/224142/-how-can-i-add-git-tags-in-bitbucket), but with a screenshot? – Lactation

Answer 3

This documentation indicates that a tag could be created. Based on that information the following command was constructed:

git tag --annotate 1.0.0 --message "Initial version of some app"

and pushed by issuing:

git push origin 1.0.0

Once pushed, the tag could be downloaded by navigating to https://bitbucket.org/<username>/<project>/downloads?tab=tags

If you don't know where to look it will take ages to find the button in the gui.

In the bitbucket gui you can add a tag by browsing to commits. When you open the commit you want to tag there is a "tags" section in the top right of the page. Just below where the branch is displayed. If you click the + button you can tag your commit.

We are running the following version: Atlassian Bitbucket v4.8.3

This Bitbucket gui tag browse to commits solution also solves the valid-key permissions command line git push --tags issue . Reference answers.atlassian.com/questions/37533680/… – Supernatant

Discovered the tag with the Bitbucket gui commit only created a temporary tag. As "admin", I had to go into hooks and temporarily disable the "Push Check" hook. Then the command line "git push --tags" worked. – Supernatant

@zerocog, With the latest version of Bitbucket this no longer is a temporary tag. – Weissberg

Answer 5

This is what I had to do, but it seems awfully longwinded. Does anyone know a quicker approach?

rt click on tag under the git repository view. Push Tags, choose remote repo, choose target ref name (ctrl-space) to be refs/heads/master. Select finish.
On the results screen, Select configure select advanced, select add all tags spec, select "finish". This creates a ref mappings in the configure push page with refs/tags/:refs/tags/. Now hit save and push.

Answer 6

In the commits, select the Details tab on the right-hand side of the page, scroll down and you can find the tags. Create one if needed.

This is the same answer as @Ogglas has provided. But I'd like to upload a new screenshot since the GUI is changed.
