No releases in github when using git flow release

Question

I am using git flow and the release functionality. It is generally working but I am not seeing any tags created for each release. Is that expected? If so, does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to create a git tag for each git flow release?

Answer 1

When you finish a release, it merges the release branch back into master, and tags the release with its name:

`git flow release finish RELEASE`

If you want to push your tags to a remote master, you'll need to use:

`git push --tags remote BRANCH`
