In Git, tags are known as the refs that point to a particular position or place in Git history. Tagging is utilized for capturing points in history that are used for marked version release. A tag does not change like branches. However, after being created, it has no history of commits. When users make a release, GitLab also makes a new tag to mark the release points.
