Is it possible to delete remote tags?

[AndrewSav]

I was able to figure out how to create local tags and push them, but I don't seem to be able to push a deleted local tag. Is this possible?

Also it seems deleting tags locally is futile anyway, they come back from the remote in a minute anyway... Is it possible to make it stick?

Currently there isn't, so I guess a custom command is what I'd advise.

Something like this:

  - key: 'D'
    command: "git push --delete {{ .SelectedTag.FullRefName }}"
    context: 'tags'
    stream: true
    prompts:
      - type: 'confirm'
        title: "Confirm:"
        body: "Are you sure you want to delete the tag {{.SelectedTag}}?"

Thanks, is there an issue for this? If not I'm happy to open one.

I don't remember seeing one so I've turned this discussion into #2635 .

@mark2185 I just tried the above, and it seems we also need to pass a remote to git push --delete is there a template var for that?

Based on tag.go, nothing indicates its remote.

I guess you could prompt for it, something like this (again, just eyeballing it).

  - key: 'D'
    context: 'tags'
    stream: true
    prompts:
      - type: 'input'
        title: 'Remote:'
        initialValue: "origin"
      - type: 'confirm'
        title: "Confirm:"
        body: "Are you sure you want to delete the tag {{.SelectedTag}} on {{index .PromptResponses 0}}?"
        command: 'git push --delete {{ index.PromptResponses 0 }} {{ .SelectedTag.FullRefName }}'

Feel free to take a stab at it yourself, Config.md is a good starting point.

{{ .SelectedRemote.Name }} works. Thank you for your guidance.

  - key: 'D'
    command: "git push --delete {{ .SelectedRemote.Name }} {{ .SelectedTag.FullRefName }}"
    context: 'tags'
    stream: true
    prompts:
      - type: 'confirm'
        title: "Confirm:"
        body: "Are you sure you want to delete the tag {{.SelectedTag}} on {{ .SelectedRemote.Name }}?"
