How to rename a tag in GIT

In this post, I will teach you how to rename a tag in git.

Actually, it is pretty easy.


I am going to rename the tag called myOldTag to myNewTag.

Step 1: we create an alias called "myNewTag"

  
     git tag myNewTag myOldTag

  

Step 2: we delete the myOldTag  tag locally

  
     git tag -d myOldTag

  

Step 3: we tell to git repository that myoldTag has been deleted

  
     git push origin :refs/tags/myOldTag

  

Step 4: we save the changes on GIT

  
     git push --tags
