💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using -a or -m creates an annotated tag, not lightweight.

Trying to push the tag in the tag creation command.

To create a lightweight tag, just use git tag followed by the tag name.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only the tag name without -a creates a lightweight tag.

Putting -m before the tag name causes errors.

Use -a to create an annotated tag and -m to add a message.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Omitting the -m option causes the message to be ignored.

Placing the message without -m causes errors.

The correct syntax for annotated tags with a message is git tag -a tagname -m "message".
