GMaster | Panasonic Lumix Camera remote control application | Camera library

I'm trying to create some tags on a local clone and push it to master, and delete a tag from remote and push it to my local clone, to be clear, the remote is github, but were talking about tags, not releases.

I create a tag the tag v0.1-beta on remote. I create a tag v1.0-full-release on local.

I'm noticing that even after a git fetch, git pull, and git push on my local end that nether side see's each others tags.

I looked it up and found that you could use git fetch --tags to fetch tags from remote, so now my local client is up to date. But I can't find a way to push my local v1.0-full-release tag to remote. Git push isn't doing it, and I can't find anything in the documentation.

SideNote: I've done most of my testing in the terminal, but I also notice in both Github for desktop, Kitkracken, and Gmaster that when I created the tag locally, and the other on the remote, fetching or pushing from those clients would't sync the tags ether.

If someone could also explain why it was decided that the standard git fetch, git pull, and git push shouldn't include tags by default, that would also be great.

I'm new to git so this may seem simple to everyone else and I'm just not understanding.

I'm getting ready to start a project with 1 other friend and we've decided to use git as our version control system, so we've been running tests to see how this would work. Here's what we've tested with so far and where we're having issues:

We have 3 branches

• Master
• My Name
• Friends Name

Okay, so:

1. I create a test.txt file directly in master before creating the other 2 branches and leave the txt empty.
2. We create the other 2 branches and I checkout my branch write "Test 1" on line 1 with no other lines, then commit and merge it with master.
3. My friend checkouts his branch and writes "Test 2" on line 1, and "Hotfix" on Line 3, then he commits and merges with master and gets a merge error because the 1 was changed to a 2 on line 1, and because Hotfix was added.

This is a little simplified compared to the tests we are running, but is git really not smart enough the recognize the difference when such a simple change has been made? I can see it asking if line 1 should have a 1 or a 2 but why is it complaining about Hotfix being added on a new line?

and I don't think it matters but we've tried the same tests in the Bash CLI for windows, Bash directly in Linux, Github for desktop, Gitkraken, and Gmaster, all to the same results.

Edit, for clarity sake here a a readout of what I did in the terminal: I explained what I did in the commit messages, and while I don't know how to display merge conflicts from the bash terminal, here is a screenshot on the conflict that it prints in vscode: https://imgur.com/a/Yd6EXx2.

Also for more, clarity, when the .txt is created, there is 1 line, I put Test (number here) on that precreated line in both branches, and for the friends branch, I created line 2 and 3, and put Hotfix and line 3.
