How can I move a tag on a git branch to a different commit?

by

Use the -f option to git tag:

-f
--force

    Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing)

You probably want to use -f in conjunction with -a to force-create an annotated tag instead of a non-annotated one.

Example

  1. Delete the tag on any remote before you push

    git push origin :refs/tags/<tagname>

  2. Replace the tag to reference the most recent commit

    git tag -fa <tagname>

  3. Push the tag to the remote origin

    git push origin master --tags
