💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using -a creates an annotated tag, not lightweight.

Using -m requires a message, which lightweight tags don't have.

Lightweight tags are created without any options, just the tag name.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the command to create an annotated tag named 'v2.0' with a message.

Git

git tag [1] v2.0 -m "Release version 2.0"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A-l

C-f

D(no flag needed)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using -l creates a lightweight tag, not annotated.

Forgetting the -a option means no message can be added.

The -a option creates an annotated tag which can include a message.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the command to create an annotated tag with a message.

Git

git tag -a v3.0 [1] "Release version 3.0"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A-m

B-l

C-f

D(no flag needed)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

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

Using -l is incorrect for annotated tags.

The -m option is needed to specify the message for the annotated tag.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create an annotated tag 'v4.0' with a message and push it to origin.

Git

git tag [1] v4.0 [2] "Release v4.0"
git push origin v4.0

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A-a

B-m

C-f

D-d

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only one option misses either annotation or message.

Using -f forces overwrite, which is not needed here.

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

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to list all tags, show details for 'v2.0', and delete the lightweight tag 'v1.0'.

Git

git tag [1]
git show [2]
git tag -d [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using -a to list tags is incorrect.

Deleting an annotated tag requires the same command as lightweight.

git tag -l lists tags, git show v2.0 shows details, and git tag -d v1.0 deletes the tag.
