# delete local tag '12345'
git tag -d 12345
# delete remote tag '12345' (eg, GitHub version too)
git push origin :refs/tags/12345

Simple backups with Git

Git calls itself "stupid content tracker", which means that the core just stores any data you put in and allows you to get it back. On top of that, there's all the fancy stuff like branching, diffs, remote repos etc, but that's not important for us today. We just want to track content, and the more stupidier (i.e. simple) way, the better - it'll be simpler to do any crazy stuff we imagine later on.

Motivation

I wanted to do backups of couple of terabytes of data, consisting of quite small files (< 10MB) which usually don't change. I wanted to have incremental backups (not to transfer all data) and I wanted to see history and be able to get into any version.

So why not to use git for it?
