Unlike branches, tags don&rsquo;t move — they&rsquo;re pinned to a commit and serve as anchors for releases, versions, and critical checkpoints. Without tags, release history devolves into a hash search — and that&rsquo;s a direct path to deployment errors.</p> <hr> <h2 id="types-of-tags-lightweight-vs-annotated">Types of Tags: Lightweight vs Annotated </h2> <p>There are two types of tags. Lightweight is just a name attached to a commit, with no additional metadata. Annotated is a full Git object with author, date, message, and signing capability.</p>
