Hi, I have a question: Why I can't do $ git push my_tag It will fail because the remote is not specified, even if there is only one origin remote but can do $ git push --tags and it will push tags to origin... Thanks, Eugene

Because 'my_tag' is interpreted as the name or URL of the remote, not as a branch name. You can do "git push origin" and it will guess the branch name(s) to push, but because of that, the one-parameter push can't *also* be used to guess the remote name. In contrast, --tags is a flag, so it's actually the zero-parameter version of push, which assumes 'origin' and then guesses the branch name (and --tags changes the guessed result). Hope that helps. Have fun, Avery
