GitHub - Delete a Tag

January 13, 2026

To delete a tag from the LOCAL:

(.venv) coo:~/Documents/DevOps/GCS-Cloud$ git tag -d v1.0
Deleted tag 'v1.0' (was 6655ed0)
(.venv) coo:~/Documents/DevOps/GCS-Cloud$ git tag -d v1.0.0 
Deleted tag 'v1.0.0' (was ab35d04)
(.venv) coo:~/Documents/DevOps/GCS-Cloud$ git tag      
2.0
show

To delete a tag from the REMOTE:

# For example, to delete the v1.0 and v1.0.0 tags from remote:
git push origin --delete v1.0
git push origin --delete v1.0.0

# Check the remote tags again
git ls-remote --tags origin

Note that while the tags were deleted locally, they still appear in the remote repository when using “git ls-remote –tags origin”. The “git tag” command only displays tags that exist in your local repository.

(.venv) coo:~/Documents/DevOps/GCS-Cloud$ git ls-remote --tags origin
