+=== Creating a tag from the current branch ===
+
+Before we create a tag lets change the testfile:
+
+{{{
+echo "Testing Tag testing-1.0" > testfile
+git add testfile
+git commit -m "Change the test file before tagging."
+}}}
+
+Finally create a testing-1.0 tag:
+
+{{{
+git tag testing-1.0
+}}}
+
+Its good to know that when you create a Tag, you stay in the current branch. It doesn't switch its current working ref to the tag. Its also good to know that when you checkout a tag, you can't commit changes to the tag. If you want to make changes you should change the branch the tag was created from or create a new branch from the tag using git checkout -b.
