Many times we release a version of a library or project and create a new tag thinking that everything is ready and just afterwards you realize that you missed a certain detail. Fortunately, in Git we have the possibility to delete a tag that has already been created both locally and remotely in order to recreate it as necessary. Below you will see how to delete this mentioned tag.

Delete a Local Tag

You just need to replace tag_name with the created tag, e.g. v1.0.0.

git tag -d tag_name

Delete a Remote Tag

You just need to replace tag_name with the created tag, e.g. v1.0.0.

git push --delete origin tag_name

Until next time!
