Create tags for releases

[Matthias Schoettle]

Every release should be tagged in order to be able to checkout the state of a certain release.

[Matthias Schoettle]

Created a tag for the current version (2.2.1).

Using Git:

• Make sure you are on the master branch and the correct commit (that you want to tag)
• git -a vX.X.X -m "<your message>" (e.g., "Created a new release version.")
• git push --tags (to push all tags)

Using EGit (in Eclipse):

• Make sure you are on the master branch
• Go to the Git Repository Perspective
• Under the repository -> Tags: Right-click and select Create Tag
• Enter a tag name (vX.X.X) and a commit message (see above)
• Right-click on the tag and select Push Tag
• The proper origin should be pre-selected, click Next
• type in refs/tags/<nameOfYourTag>
