EGit: how to create a new tag?
eclipse, egit
Solution
A tip at the Eclipse forum showed how:
- Switch to Git Repository Perspective;
- Check out the local branch to tag into the Git Repositories View;
- In the project tree right click on Tags -> Create Tag
- Enter tag name and tag message.
After this the tag must be pushed to the remote repository, but that is something that can be made in the regular coding perspective.
Problem
I'd like to create a new tag using EGit. According to the manual there are two ways of doing it: - Select Team > Advanced > Tag... - But I don't have the Advanced sub-menu in the Team menu. - Execute Create Tag... on a commit in the History view. - But I don't have this button/option in the History view. How do I do it? Thank you. My setup: Version: Juno Service Release 2 Build id: 20130225-0426 Eclipse EGit 3.0.1.201307141637-r
