Tag

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

A tag is like a permanent bookmark on a specific commit. While branches move forward as you add commits, a tag stays put forever. It's mainly used to mark release versions like 'v1.0.0' or 'v2.3.1'.

Real Talk

Tags are references that point to specific commits and don't change. They're typically used to mark release points (v1.0, v2.0). Annotated tags include metadata (tagger, date, message) while lightweight tags are just pointers.
