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).
  • From the [docs](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-tag), I know 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.
  • Therefore, I was wondering if there is a more elegant way to move git tags around?
