create a tag in git and release this tag

Today we want to create a repo, add a file and create a tag. After that, we want to release this tag.

This is a everyday process you need, if you want to publish a new version of your software,

Prerequisits:
- a git client 
- a github account

1) create a repository named "testing-tags" on github. If you do not have an account, you have to create one on github.com


2) Create a local folder "testing-tags" somewhere on your computer

- open a console an navigate to this folder and type:

echo "# testingtags" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/<youtgithubusername>/testing-tags.git
git push -u origin master

This will add the README.md to the new github repository.

Now we want to tag the first version of your software 

in your terminal type:

git tag 1.0.0

git push --tags

Thats it. You have pushed your first tag 1.0.1 to github you can find it on github here:
