GIT commit to existing tag

gittag.md

1. Create a branch with the tag

git branch {tagname}-branch {tagname} git checkout {tagname}-branch

2. Include the fix manually if it's just a change ....

`git add .`
`git ci -m "Fix included" `
or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier
`git cherry-pick  {num_commit}`

3. Delete and recreate the tag locally

`git tag -d {tagname}`
`git tag {tagname}`

4. Delete and recreate the tag remotely

`git push origin :{tagname} // deletes original remote tag`
`git push origin {tagname} // creates new remote tag`
