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.

Answer 1

if you have too many tags (like in our case) you might want to do it like:

git tag -l > tags_to_remove.txt

then edit the file in your preferred editor - to review and remove the tags you want to keep (if any) and then run it locally

git tag -d $(cat ./tags_to_remove.txt)

and remotely:

git push -d origin $(cat ./tags_to_remove.txt)
