aha looks like I got the ordering wrong then, merging to stable prior to setting the tab. If I merge master again into stable now would that then include the tag perhaps?

What is the reason for the annotated tag?

Github will also create the tag for you if you just create a release in the UI…?

I think doing the tag is the very last thing and it attaches itself to the last commit. I’d just point the tag to the right commit.

`git describe` will easily identify where the user’s repository is for the admin page.

Github tags are ‘lightweight’ tags, using the `-a` creates annotated tags. Have a look at the reference for a fuller explanation.

so the git describe of `9.9.4-207-g0a74cda9` is on commit `g0a74cda9` which is 207 commits ahead of the last annotated tag `9.9.4`

```auto
$ git describe --tags --debug
searching to describe HEAD
 lightweight 1 9.9.6
 lightweight 190 9.9.5
 lightweight 204 9.9.3
 annotated 207 9.9.4
 lightweight 258 V9.9.2

```
