I want to see if there are any tags incoming from the remote.

Both git fetch and git fetch --tags create tags in a local repository if they do not yet exist. But I don't want to create tags, only to check whether they will be created if I do fetch or pull. Is there any way to achieve that?

CodePudding user response：

git fetch --tags --dry-run

--dry-run makes Git show what would be done, without making any changes.

See the docs.
