Request

In the Commit History page, I would like to see which commits are tagged, what is the name of the tag (and if it's an annotated tag, show the message when mouse hovers over the tag name)

For example, in this view, I would like to see that the top-most commit is tagged as v1.0.1:
https://github.com/github/docs/commits/a2f178351afc3ad570c5089a9deec80bc9e5f0e7
I can clearly see that tag relation if I open the commit itself, but want to see it in the history as well so I can easily see which commits were included in v1.0.0 and which commits are part of v1.0.1

• similar request in refined-git, implemented in 2019 (but I don't want to install tons of browser plugins on my work machine...)
• same feature is available in Azure DevOps

The commit history timeline has dividers by date. How about adding dividers by tag:

I'm astonished this isn't just the default?!?!?! What am I missing??? Why, when you are looking at the commit history, would you NOT want to see the tagged commits. This is one case where Azure DevOps is better than GitHub

I had to write my own CLI tool for this because GitHub doesn't provide this very basic, obvious, and essential view on history.

I don't get it.

This is so funny 🤣 🤣 🤣 The Github Desktop app has this feature but not the web Github commit history 🤣 🤣 🤣 COME ON GUYS! @github

Thanks for the tip.

The fact that even the broken BitBucket supports this and Github doesn't is beyond imagination. That should a relatively easy to add feature.

Adding my support to this very basic need.

+1, this would be pretty useful
