How to keep the 2 latest tags in gitlab and remove the oldest?

Question

I have the list of tags from gitlab with this commande line git tag -l .

Input :

echo listTags = $(git tag -l)
listTags= v0.0.1 v0.0.2 v0.1.0 v0.1.0-1  v0.1.0-2  v0.1.0-3  v0.1.0-4  v0.1.0-5

for tag in 'git tag -l'
do
    git tag -d $tag
    git push -v origin :refs/tags/$tag
done

I want to remove all the oldest pre-release version and keep the 2 latest

Output:

echo listTags = $(git tag -l)
listTags= v0.0.1 v0.0.2 v0.1.0 v0.1.0-4  v0.1.0-5

how can i resolve this problem with script shell?

Answer 1

git tag -l | sort -V |tail -2

This command gives you the newest 2 tags

delete all tags execpt the result from that command
