How do I stop LG from removing git tags?

[vasgard-bronsen]

I git tag 26.11.0_rc3, then I open LG and see the tag at the commit - just as expected.

However, after a second or two the tag disappears! Leaving LG and checking with git tag | grep rc3 confirms the absence of the tag.

Tagging within LG keeps the tag until I p(ull) to make sure I have got all the changes: now the tag is gone again.

How do I tell LG to not remove tags?

the current lazygit fetch/pull code adds no pruning flags, so i'd check git's settings. its startup fetch could explain the delay

this read-only check shows the settings and their source files:

git config --show-origin --get-regexp '^(fetch\.prune(tags)?|remote\..*\.(prune(tags)?|fetch))$'

git can delete local-only tags when pruning and pruneTags are enabled, or pruning uses a mapping such as refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*

for the pruneTags case on origin, with no explicit tag mapping, this disables tag pruning while keeping branch pruning:

git config --local remote.origin.pruneTags false

repeat for each affected remote, replacing origin

could you share the check's output and lazygit --version? until it's clear, i'd keep lazygit closed and skip fetches/pulls

oh and lazygit --version reports this
