How to push the Tag to GitHub from Eclipse?
eclipse, git, github, github-api, repository
Solution
Here is my setup to simulate what you have.
An instance of Eclipse Indigo SR2 on OSX with Egit installed (from here). This is the 'source' machine from which I'll create the tag according to your steps.
1.1 Setup GITHUB in the above using this.
An instance of Eclipse Indigo SR2 on Ubuntu running inside a VM. This is the 'other client' which shall try to get the tag once it's pushed to GITHUB.
I'll be back with what I learnt from this experience.
Update
So, I followed your steps to push a tag on one Eclipse and then pull it from another Eclipse instance. I was able to do so successfully.
I have created a screencast to show what I did. Watch it here and let me know if it gives you any ideas about what you might be doing differently ?
Problem
Here are the steps I have followed to push my Tag to GitHub Remote Repository. But not able to get Tag on other user's eclipse. (I have successfully uploaded my Repository and able to commit the changes.) - Right click Repository in Eclipse Package Explorer. - Go to Team -> Advanced -> Tag - Filling up all details and clicked a OK. This will Tag in my Local System. - Now, Right click again Repository in Eclipse. - Go to Team -> Show in Repository View. Git Repositories window will appear. - In that select the Tag and click Push Tag. - Entering all the details. I am able to get the message window without any error. But still not able to get a Tagged version on other User's PC. What am I still missing? I had see the command prompt versions Help on GitHub. But dont want to use that... I want to make it with UI only... Can anyone help me out.... thanks in advance...
