Definition

A named reference to a specific Git commit, used to mark release versions.

مرجع مُسمّى لـcommit Git محدد، يُستخدم لتمييز إصدارات الإطلاق.

Why It Matters

Every sprint completion in 404Fault is tagged: v1.3.2-sprint4c-core-terms-hotfix, v1.4.0-production-polish-rc1. Tags are how you navigate the project's release history.

كل اكتمال سبرينت في 404Fault موسوم. الوسوم هي كيفية التنقل في تاريخ إصدارات المشروع.

Full Definition

Git tags mark specific commits permanently — unlike branches, they don't move as new commits are added. Annotated tags (with -a) include the tagger's name, date, and a message. They're the standard way to mark releases: `v1.0.0`, `v1.3.2-sprint4c-core-terms-hotfix`. 404Fault uses tags to mark every sprint completion: `v1.4.0-production-polish-rc1`, `v1.4.1-platform-hardening`.
وسوم Git تُمييّز commits محددة بشكل دائم — على عكس الفروع، لا تتحرك مع إضافة commits جديدة. الوسوم المُشروحة (بـ-a) تتضمن اسم الواسم والتاريخ ورسالة. إنها الطريقة المعيارية لتمييز الإصدارات. 404Fault يستخدم الوسوم لتمييز كل اكتمال سبرينت.

Example Usage

“git tag -a v1.4.2-knowledge-expansion -m 'Sprint 4.6 Phase B: 250+ glossary terms' && git push origin --tags”

“git tag -a v1.4.2-knowledge-expansion -m 'Sprint 4.6 Phase B: 250+ مصطلح قاموس' && git push origin --tags”

Avoid these mistakes when using Git Tag:

1

Forgetting to push tags separately — `git push` doesn't push tags by default, need `git push --tags`

2

Using lightweight tags instead of annotated for releases — annotated tags have metadata
