git.followTagsWhenSync is ignored

[vanowm]

Type: Bug

With git.followTagsWhenSync setting enabled and a tag created with git tag blah after a commit, clicking "Sync Changes" button in Source Control Sync only pushes commit and not the new tag. Have to manually use git push --tags

I confirm it is ignored. I actually never got it working.

If you open the git output window, and you run Sync Changes, do you see the --follow-tags option added to git push?

[vanowm]

@lszomoru yes,

2023-11-28 05:33:38.979 [info] > git push --follow-tags origin master:master [1859ms]

So, it's must be something on my end. After little research I found this answer:

--follow-tags Push all the refs that would be pushed without this option, and also push annotated tags in refs/tags that are missing from the remote but are pointing at committish that are reachable from the refs being pushed.

However

git tag v1.0.0 created a lightweight, non-annotated tag

So my tags are lightweight, therefore git ignores them.

For now, as a quick work around I'm using this pre-push hook:

#!/bin/sh
$(git push --tags --no-verify);

[lszomoru]

You can use the Git: Push Tags command to push all tags to the remote.
