JGit: Retrieve tag associated with a git commit

Question

I want to use JGit API to retrieve the tags associated with a specific commit hash (if there is any)?

Please provide code snippet for the same.

Answer 1

If you know that there is exactly one tag for your commit, you could use describe, in more recent versions of JGit (~ November 2013).

Git.wrap(repository).describe().setTarget(ObjectId.fromString("hash")).call()

You could parse the result, to see if a tag exists, but if there can be multiple tags, you should go with Marcins solution.
