Git force push tag when the tag already exists on remote

Question

I have a tag already pushed onto the remote. When another user creates the same tag and tries to push, the push will fail because the tag already exists on the remote.

Answer 1

Firstly, delete that tag you want to replace in remote:

git push origin --delete <tag-name>

then push your tag to remote:

git push --tags

Answer 2

This will force push all the tags and overwrite the existing ones.

git push -f --tags

Answer 3

In my case, remote was rejecting an force push when the tag already exists.

So, when the push was rejected, I did

git push --delete origin tagname 

and pushed the new tag.

Please see Torek's comment to my question. There is a case when remote can reject the delete too.
