How to Tag in Sourcetree

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create and apply a Git tag in Sourcetree.

Quick summary

Tagging in Sourcetree lets you mark a specific commit in your Git repository as a named reference point, such as a release version. Using the built-in Tag dialog, you can add a tag to any committed state without leaving the Sourcetree interface.


Steps

  1. Open Sourcetree and select your repository from the list.
  2. Make sure you are on the correct branch and have committed all relevant changes.
  3. In the top menu or toolbar, select the Tag option.
  4. In the Tag Name field, enter the name for your new tag.
  5. Click Add Tag to confirm and apply the tag to the current commit.
  6. Your tag now marks a specific point in history in your Git repository.

📌 Why this matters

Git tags are essential for marking stable release points, version milestones, or significant commits in a repository's history. Sourcetree's visual Tag feature makes it easy for developers to create and manage Git tags without memorizing command-line syntax. By tagging directly from the Sourcetree toolbar, teams can maintain a clear, navigable project timeline and quickly reference any past state of their codebase. This is especially valuable for release management workflows where traceability and version control accuracy are critical.
