About tags in GitHub Desktop
GitHub Desktop allows you to create annotated tags. You can use a tag to mark an individual point in your repository's history, including a version number for a release. For more information about release tags, see "About releases."
By default, GitHub Desktop will push the tag that you create to your repository with the associated commit.
