# Tags
Tags are useful for marking certain deployments and releases for later
reference. Git supports two types of tags:
- Annotated tags: An unchangeable part of Git history.
- Lightweight (soft) tags: Tags that can be set and removed as needed.
Many projects combine an annotated release tag with a stable branch. Consider
setting deployment or release tags automatically.
## Tags sample workflow
1. Create a lightweight tag.
1. Create an annotated tag.
1. Push the tags to the remote repository.
```shell
git checkout master
# Lightweight tag
git tag my_lightweight_tag
# Annotated tag
git tag -a v1.0 -m 'Version 1.0'
# Show list of the existing tags
git tag
git push origin --tags
```
