Tagging in Git is adds a marker pointing to a specific commit. It's like placing a bookmark on a certain page of a book, but it can't be removed or changed.
Tagging is most commonly used for releases. It's a way to point to a state of the code along the chain and say with certainty that a certain release contained this code.
## How to tag
`git tag -l "v0.30.4"`
or, if you're using GitHub, you can it by going to `/releases` and clicking "Draft a new release".
