What is Tagging?
Tagging marks a specific commit as significant, typically used to denote release versions like v1.0.0. Unlike branches, tags don't move as new commits are added, so they act as a fixed reference point in history. Tags can be lightweight, just a name pointing to a commit, or annotated, storing extra metadata like the tagger's name and a message.
