GIT Commit to an existing Tag

Original page: https://gist.github.com/danielestevez/2044589

1. Create a branch with the tag
   git branch {tagname}-branch {tagname}
   git checkout {tagname}-branch

2. Include the fix manually if it’s just a change …
   git add .
   git ci -m “Fix included”
   or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier
   git cherry-pick {num_commit}

3. Delete and recreate the tag locally
   git tag -d {tagname}
   git tag {tagname}

4. Delete and recreate the tag remotely
   git push origin :{tagname} // deletes original remote tag
   git push origin {tagname} // creates new remote tag

5. Update local repository with the updated tag (suggestion by @wyattis)
   git fetch --tags
