Just one more thing to add here. How do i tag the whole content inside my branch? As paul said, if i do 10 commits only the final commit will be tagged. Now for example if i will branch-off from the master branch and start work from there and i want to give a final tag on the branch what i am working till now. Is it possible in GIT ?
Also how do i see the content inside a commit? if i run "git log " it just shows the commit id and the author. Thanks in advance. ~Vijay.
