GitHub：包含特定提交的标签

Question

On Github, when you access the page corresponding to a commit - like this - you can see the following:

I imagine that next to the branch ( master ) the page is showing the repository tags that include that specific commit (in this case: 4.8.0, 4.7.1, 4.7.0, 4.6.2, 4.6.1 and 4.6.0 ).

Is there a way to access that information through GitHub REST API, or through GIT command line tools?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the REST API, but you can do this from Git's CLI

git tag --contains <commit>

This will output all tags reachable from this commit. <commit> can be a commit or object... ie a branch name, tag name, or sha.

You can get a list of all your tags in various ways.
