Question

How can you create a tag in Git?

I’m trying to understand how to apply a hover effect to elements on my webpage using CSS. How does the :hover pseudo-class work, and what’s the best way to style elements so they respond to mouse-over events? I’d also appreciate any tips on creating smooth transitions or animations during hover

Firstly, we should know what are tags in Git. Tags in Git are the reference points in the Git history that denotes special events. It is not a rule to tag the releases. You can tag any commit for any purpose you want. 

Steps to create a tag in Git:

1) Open Git Bash in the working directory.
2) Check if you have a clean working directory.
3) Execute the following command to view the commits:

   git log --oneline

We can now create a tag onto any of these commits. Let's tag the last commit on the dev branch by executing the following command:
git tag ongoing dev

Note: A commit to dev branch will not reflect in any other branch. It is personal to dev command only.

Now you can check yourself by executing git log --oneline command that the tag creation is successful.
