Does Copia support Git Tags?

Copia supports the use of Git Tags in both the Desktop and Web applications. You can read more about Git Tags and how to use them with Copia in our documentation.

Here are a few examples of why you might use Git tags:

1. Version Release: Tags are automatically created when you create a new Release, such as v1.0, v2.0, etc. This allows developers to quickly checkout and build a specific release version of the code.

2. Marking Important Milestones: If there are important milestones in your project that you want to remember or revert back to, you can use tags to mark these points. For example, when you complete a significant feature or fix a critical bug, you can tag that commit.

3. Documentation: Tags can be used to indicate points in the project's history where certain features were introduced or bugs were fixed. This can be helpful when writing documentation or compiling release notes.

4. Ease of Reference: Tags provide an easy way to reference specific points in your Git history, without having to remember or copy specific commit SHAs. You can checkout, view diffs, or create branches based off these tags.

5. Hotfixes or Patch Releases: If you need to apply a hotfix or a patch to a previous version of your application, you can use tags to quickly access the required version. You can then create a new branch from this point, apply your fix, and then tag the new commit as a new sub-version (e.g., v1.0.1).

In all these ways, Git tags facilitate more effective version control and collaboration between team members.
