I have a question about tagging in GIT.

Let's imagine that I am working on a repository in which I have a series of changes merged on the master branch and I have tagged that master branch with version 2.1.0.

If I now make other changes and merge them also to the master branch, that 2.1.0 tag will catch those new merged changes or I would have to create another version as 2.1.1 (for example)?

thanks a lot!! :)

Tag is a pointer to a commit

From the documentation

Git supports two types of tags: lightweight and annotated.

A lightweight tag is very much like a branch that doesn’t change — it’s just a pointer to a specific commit.

Annotated tags, however, are stored as full objects in the Git database. >They’re checksummed; contain the tagger name, email, and date; have a tagging message; and can be signed and verified with GNU Privacy Guard (GPG). It’s generally recommended that you create annotated tags so you can have all this information; but if you want a temporary tag or for some reason don’t want to keep the other information, lightweight tags are available too.

So if you change your branch nothing happens to your tag
