Hello everyone,

I'd like to create a new tag using EGit. According to the manual there are two ways of doing it:

1. Select Team > Advanced > Tag...
- But I don't have the Advanced sub-menu in the Team menu.

2. 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: Indigo Release
Build id: 20110615-0604
Eclipse EGit Git Team Provider 1.1.0.201109151100-r

Update to a less archaic version of EGit. 1.1 is really old.

Thanks for the reply Shapiro. I tried to run the update but I get this error back:

Hello again,

I finally understood that to update EGit I needed to upgrade Eclipse itself. My set up is now the following:

Version: Juno Service Release 2
Build id: 20130225-0426
Eclipse EGit 3.0.1.201307141637-r

But I still don't have any of the menu options referred in the manual: Advanced in the context menu or Create Tag... in the History view.

So back to square one: how do I create a git tag in Eclipse?

Thank you.

hi Luís

I would do it this way: Git Repository Perspective -> Git Repositories View
1) check out the local branch that I want to tag
2) right click on Tags -> Create Tag
Enter tag name and tag message. OK.
Finished.

Regards
Marcus Warm

Thanks Marcus, that's pretty awkward but works.

Maybe this helps also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6E9alq-5ls

It's important to push the tag after you created it, so other users can see the tag. Target refname = refs/tags/<tag name>

good luck
