最新的git标签未与git describe命令一起出现

Question

Currently our CI builds on the latest git tag, git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)

We have a scenario where a remote dev is tagging but the tag is only appearing with the command

git describe --abbrev=0

the tag is not appearing with the first command.

Answer 1

git rev-list --tags will list every commit reachable from any tag, in reverse chronological order . Adding --max-count=1 limits the output to the first commit that would otherwise be displayed. So that command shows the newest commit that has a tag.

If any user tags a commit, but it's not newer than every commit that already has a tag, it won't show. I'm guessing, for your usage, that this sounds ok -- though do note that's newest commit , not newest tag .

Your remote dev, though... is his clock in sync with your local clock?

You might be able to improve the situation by adding the --topo-order flag, which ensures that a commit cannot be listed until all of its children have been listed.

Answer 2

There are several ways to get the git latest tag from the current branch your in. I just mentioned only simple approaches.

Answer to your question most simple way is to use this will provide the latest git tag

 $ git describe --tags

and another simple approach which you already mentioned your doing that

$ git describe --tags --abbrev=0
