[[!meta title="How to show the latest git tag"]]
|
|
|
|
## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
If you want to show the name of the latest tag, use:
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --sort=-taggerdate --count=1 --format '%(tag)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
## Some background
|
|
|
|
The command *git for-each-ref* is pretty useful if you want to find something
|
|
in a number of commits (or tags in this case). It allows you to use variations of
|
|
output and sorting methods. For example:
|
|
|
|
### Show all tags including the message
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --format '%(refname) %(contents:subject)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
(this is btw. very similar to **git tag -n1**)
|
|
|
|
### Show all tags sorted by date, oldest first
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --sort=taggerdate --format '%(refname)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
### Show all tags sorted by date, newest first
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --sort=-taggerdate --format '%(refname)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
### Show latest two tags
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --count=2 --sort=-taggerdate --format '%(refname)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
### Show latest tag with its non-ambiguous short name
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --sort=-taggerdate --count=1 --format '%(refname:short)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
### Show latest tag
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --count=1 --sort=-taggerdate --format '%(tag)' refs/tags
|
|
|
|
(note: this is the same as the previous one, but uses the *tag* field)
