How to move a tag in git?

+5
−0

I have created a tag in my project, using git tag v2023

However, I forgot to commit a few changes.
Now I would like to move this tag to the current point (after having committed the changes I had missed).

According to the docs, it is possible to delete tags using git tag -d v2023

After this command I can just create the tag again.
However, this feels a bit clumsy.

Is there is a more elegant way to move git tags around?

Why exactly do you find it clumsy? Is it just because there are 2 steps and you would have expected 1?

yes, but also the higher chances for errors (i.e. more opportunities for typos etc.)
