How to remove all local repository tags?

  • 772

can all tags be removed from the local repository?

It seems that I have the option to delete one by one, for example:

git tag tag_name --delete

or delete the ones that are not on the remote :

git fetch --prune --prune-tags

But regardless of the remote's labels? That is, if for example we did not have access to this

git

    1. Remove all local tags. (Optional recommended)

    git tag -d $(git tag -l)

    2. Get all the labels from the remote. (Optional recommended)

    git fetch

    3. Delete all remote tags.

    git push origin --delete $(git tag -l) # Pushing once should be faster than multiple times

    You can get a list of remote tags via git ls-remote. To list the tags in the referenced repository origin, you need to run:

    git ls-remote --tags origin

    That returns a list of hashes and friendly tag names, like:

    94bf6de8315d9a7b22385e86e1f5add9183bcb3c        refs/tags/v0.1.3
cc047da6604bdd9a0e5ecbba3375ba6f09eed09d        refs/tags/v0.1.4
...
2f2e45bedf67dedb8d1dc0d02612345ee5c893f2        refs/tags/v0.5.4

    Certainly you could put together a bash script to compare the tags generated by this list with the tags you have locally. Take a look at git show-ref --tags, which generates tag names in the same way as git ls-remote).

    As an aside, git show-refan option that does the opposite of what you'd like. The following command would list all the tags on the remote branch that you don't have locally:

    git ls-remote --tags origin | git show-ref --tags --exclude-existing
