A branch is essentially a pointer to the last commit you made. As you go on
committing, this pointer will automatically update to point the latest commit.
### Tag
A tag is a mark on specific point in history. Typically people use this
functionality to mark release points (v1.0, and so on)
### HEAD and head (component of .git dir)
HEAD is a pointer that points to the current branch. A repository only has 1 *active* HEAD.

### tag
Manage your tags
```bash
# List tags
$ git tag
# Create a annotated tag
# The -m specifies a tagging message,which is stored with the tag.
# If you dont specify a message for an annotated tag,
# Git launches your editor so you can type it in.
$ git tag -a v2.0 -m 'my version 2.0'
# Show info about tag
# That shows the tagger information, the date the commit was tagged,
# and the annotation message before showing the commit information.
$ git show v2.0
# Push a single tag to remote
$ git push origin v2.0
# Push a lot of tags to remote
$ git push origin --tags
```
