Please start git-tagging your versions

ddopson commented 12 years ago

I've been tagging the version bumps with commits:

I've actually never used actual git "tags" before. Never really had a need. Why do you want this?

ConsoleCatzirl commented 12 years ago

I find it useful to be able to quickly and easily checkout a specific version. For instance, if I want to develop a project depending on underscore-cli, I would want a part of my build testing to clone the repo and checkout a known-working version. That way I'm not blindsided by errors with a root cause in a change you consider minor. Developing against someone else's master HEAD is not very good practice, and git tags are just an easy way to checkout specific points in history.

OK, I went back and tagged all my versions. easy enough to do and kind of nice. done.
