SourceTree Needs to Support Force Tag Pull

Mochnant
August 13, 2024

SourceTree really needs to support "git fetch --tags --force" to prevent the error "would clobber existing tags".

 

This has been an open request since 2019.

 

Please vote for:  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-7077

 

Thank you!

Hi @Mochnant

Welcome to the community!

Since the feature is not yet integrated into the UI, my workaround is to open the Terminal button in Sourcetree and execute: git fetch --tags --force.
