push --follow-tags not pushing tags ?

push --follow-tags not pushing tags ?

[Wes Hurd]

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue where git push --follow-tags is not actually
adding a new tag to the remote, as it's expected
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#Documentation/git-push.txt---follow-tags

I did the following sequence:
committed to master (new commit)

git tag v1.0.1
git push --follow-tags origin

The commit pushed to remote but the tag is not pushed.
plain `git push --follow-tags` has the same behaviour.

Output of git tag :
v1.0.0
v1.0.1

git 2.24.1 Ubuntu 18.04

Am I missing something for this to work ?
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3745250/4364036 also indicates it should
work based on the sequence I followed.

Thanks,

I believe --follow-tags only pushes annotated tags.  Does the issue
still persist when you use something like:

`git tag -a -m "I'm an annotation"`

Ah ok, that's it

thanks Matt

I'll update the stack overflow to clarify
