GIT Commit to an existing Tag

gistfile1.txt

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
		
5)  Update local repository with the updated tag (suggestion by @wyattis)
	git fetch --tags

Saved me a few hours futzing around trying to update a dozen or so tags. Feels totally wrong and against the idea of tag in the first place, but sometimes tags just don't work the exact way a project requires!

Thanks a lot.

Felt a bit wrong deleting my tag remotely, but worked out perfectly. Thanks very much!
Side note, everywhere I go on the internet, I seem to see traces of @geerlingguy pop up! 🤣

Thanks.
