If you’ve accidentally committed a tag and pushed it up to GitHub, it’s quite easy to delete it and then add a new one. For this example, I’m deleting my previous tag “v1.0”, and then adding a new one for the repo at its current state.

1) Delete the v1.0 tag locally:

git tag -d v1.0

2) Delete the v1.0 tag on GitHub (which removes its download link):

git push origin :v1.0

3) Add a new tag for the updated release:

git tag -a v1.0 -m "Version 1.0 Stable"

4) Push the latest tag to GitHub (two dashes):

git push --tags
