问题
I am trying to get the branch name from a given tag.
I tried git describe --tag <tag-name> but this doesn't provide me any branch name. I tried using gitk to show to the tags and branch but gitk doesn't show me the tag. When I list out the tags git tag -l I see the tag name exist in the list.
I just want a simple command which can tell me the branch when tag name is provided.

Tags and Branches in Git are only Labels pointing to specific snapshot of your files. That being said, Tags ain't linked to a branch, but to a commit.
As so, you have to check wich branch contain the commit pointed by your tag, as so:
git branch --contains <tag name>

A tag is just an alias name for a commit.
That said, this should answer your question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2707110/550177

If you know the commit number the tag is linked to, you can find the branch from which the tag was placed from this command:
git_branch=$(git for-each-ref | grep ${commit_num} | grep origin | sed "s/.*\///")
