Tagging releases and maintaining consistent version history in Git repositories can be error-prone and hard to enforce without a clear workflow.
Create an annotated tag for the release and push it to the remote repository.

Annotated Git tags store release metadata and provenance alongside commits. You create them to signal a new version to CI/CD and stakeholders, then push the tag to your remote repository to coordinate the release.
Semantic versioning requires bumping the MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH number based on the changes introduced. You apply the appropriate version bump during hotfix cycles or feature releases to maintain a consistent version history.
Managing the Git tag lifecycle involves listing, viewing, deleting, and pushing tags to remotes. This workflow organizes software releases and ensures versioned codebases remain consistent across maintenance and release cycles.
Yes, the workflow enforces semantic versioning by providing version-bump guidance. It ensures you apply the correct MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH increments when creating annotated or lightweight tags for your releases.
Yes, lightweight tag creation is supported alongside annotated tags. However, annotated tags are preferred for releases because they store additional release metadata and provenance directly alongside the commit.
Pushing Git tags to remotes signals the new version to CI/CD pipelines and stakeholders. It coordinates the release across the team and ensures the versioned codebase is synchronized with the remote repository.
