Delete all git remote tags

Remove all git tags

#Delete local tags.
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d
#Fetch remote tags.
git fetch
#Delete remote tags.
git tag -l | xargs -n 1 git push --delete origin
#Delete local tasg.
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d

Worked wonders thanks!

git tag -d $(git tag -l) ;
git fetch --tags ; \
git tag -l | grep "test" | (xargs -n 1 git push --delete origin && xargs git tag -d) ; \

• Delete all local tags
• Fetch all remove tags
• loop through and delete the tag that matches your tag pattern

This variant, inspired by @markusressel, deletes all tags from a remote Git repository in a single push using xargs, making it faster and cleaner than deleting them individually.

Script:

REMOTE_NAME=origin
git ls-remote --tags "$REMOTE_NAME" \
  | awk '{print $2}' \
  | grep -v '\^{}$' \
  | xargs -r git push --delete "$REMOTE_NAME"

How it works:

1. REMOTE_NAME=origin → sets the remote name.
2. git ls-remote --tags "$REMOTE_NAME" → lists all remote tags, with each line showing <SHA> <refname>.
3. awk '{print $2}' → extracts the refname (e.g., refs/tags/v1.0.0).
4. grep -v '\^{}$' → removes dereferenced annotated tags ending with ^{}.
5. xargs -r git push --delete "$REMOTE_NAME" → deletes remaining tags in a single push.
