How to move a tag in git?
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?

You can (forcibly) replace a tag with the -f, --force flag:
git tag -f v2023
(assuming the current HEAD is where you want the tag to end up)
