git alias config steps

$ vi ~/.gitconfig
  • add git alias into alias scope, if dont have [alias], you need add by yourself
[alias]
        remove-tags = "!f() { git tag -l ${1} | xargs -I % echo \"git tag -d % && git push --delete origin %\" | sh; }; f"
  • run git alias, add regexp to match tags to delete
git remove-tags <regexp>
  • if you do not know which regexp is work, recommend use list first
git tag --list

DEMO

$ git tag -a 'v10.0.0'
$ git remove-tags 'v10.0.*'
$ git tag -l
