How to: have git list all tags along with the full message

have git list all tags along with the full message

I want git to list all tags along with the full annotation or commit message. Something like this is close:

git tag -n5

This does exactly what I want except that it will only show up to the first 5 lines of the tag message.

I guess I can just use a very large number. What is the highest number I can use here? Is it the same on every computer?

What is the difference between a tag and a branch in git?

This is probably an easy question, but I’m having some difficulty understanding how to use tags vs. branches in git. If there’s some documentation I should be reading, feel free to just point me to it.

I want to force push, for example, my tag 1.0.0 to my remote master branch.

I’m now doing the following:

git push production +1.0.0:master

I want to force the push, because all I care about is that the code inside the 1.0.0 tag is pushed to the master branch on the remote repository.

What am I doing wrong?

How do you rename a Git tag?

Today I was looking through the logs for a project and realized that I fat fingered a tag name some time ago. Is there some way to rename the tag? Google hasn’t turned up anything useful.

I realize I could check out the tagged version and make a new tag, I even tried that. But that seems to create a tag object that isn’t quite right. For one,

git tag -l
