Hello team, Passing a number as an option to "git tags" command should display latest tags. e.g. "git tags -5" will display last 5 tags only. Similar behavior to "git log -5" Thanks, Halil

While interesting, this would only really work for annotated tags. How would you define order? tags are normally shown in sorted lexical order (or version-order if you pass the --sort parameter). Non-annotated tags do not contain the date time, and using the commit's date information may not be accurate. While it is possible to say show "the 5 most recent tags on a particular branch of history" that would be using the log to determine this. What exactly would you expect the behavior to be with tags? That might help figure out what could be done instead. Regards, Jake
