Working with the Git Database
Tag a Commit
Tags can be created through the GitHub API
var tag = new NewTag {
Message = "Tagging a new release of Octokit",
Tag = "v1.0.0",
Object = "ee062e0", // short SHA
Type = TaggedType.Commit, // TODO: what are the defaults when nothing specified?
Tagger = new Signature
{
Name = "Brendan Forster",
Email = "brendan@github.com",
Date = DateTime.UtcNow
}
};
var result = await client.Git.Tags.Create("octokit", "octokit.net", tag);
Console.WriteLine("Created a tag for {0} at {1}", result.Tag, result.Sha);
Or you can fetch an existing tag from the API:
var tag = await client.Git.Tags.Get("octokit", "octokit.net", "v1.0.0");
