Delete multiple git remote tags and push once

Question

In Git, how can I delete multiple tags before pushing?

I know how to do it with one tag at a time. Not sure if it\'s possible to do multiple.

I found an easy way to do this if you have grep and xargs installed. I am shamelessly taking this from https://gist.github.com/shsteimer/7257245.

Delete all the remote tags with the pattern your looking for:

git tag | grep  | xargs -n 1 -I% git push origin :refs/tags/%

Delete all your local tags:

git tag | xargs -n 1 -I% git tag -d %

Fetch the remote tags which still remain:

git fetch
