Git: Delete a remote tag

by Gregor Uhlenheuer on October 16, 2011

I don’t need this command that often but when I do, I can’t recall how it’s done. For that reason I am quickly posting how you can delete an already pushed tag on a remote:

# first remove the tag in your local repository
git tag -d v0.0.3

# delete the tag on the remote
git push origin :refs/tags/v0.0.3

Not that difficult, isn’t it?!
