# Git tags with Gradle

People often want to create git tags

out of their pipelines.

For example a git tag with the release version 

should be set during the publication of a release.

This is a minimalistic example on how to

create git tags using Gradle.

- **A simple Gradle task**

- **6 lines of code**

- **No external dependencies**

[*build.gradle.kts*](build.gradle.kts)

```kotlin

group = "org.example"

version = "1.0.0"

tasks.register("gitTagVersion") {

    doLast {

        exec { commandLine("git", "tag", "-a", version, "-m", "Release version $version") }

        exec { commandLine("git", "push", "origin", "tag", version) }

    }

}

```

*Your pipeline (pseudocode)*

```yml

...

  steps:

    - name: build, test, other stuff ...

    ...

    

    # And here we go:

    

    - name: Publish release version

      script: ./gradlew publish

    - name: Git tag version

      script: ./gradlew gitTagVersion

```

That is all you need.

**Thoughts**

Both steps, publishing and git tagging,

can also be executed in parallel.

However, there is a risk that publishing

will fail and the tag will then be

created incorrectly.
