# 1- Tagging in Git: Annotated Version vs Lightweight Version

## Overview
Tags in Git are used to mark specific points in history as being important. There are two types of tags: **Annotated Tags** and **Lightweight Tags**.

---

## Annotated Tags
- Store **extra meta data** such as:
  - Tagger name
  - Email
  - Date
- Important for **public releases** as they provide additional context and information.

---

## Lightweight Tags
- Serve as **bookmarks** to a commit.
- Contain only a name and a pointer to a commit.
- Useful for creating quick links to relevant commits.

---

Use **Annotated Tags** when detailed information is required and **Lightweight Tags** for simple, fast references.

## 2- Rebase" VS "Merge"
Both Git rebase and Git merge are methods for integrating changes from one branch into another branch

The main difference is that rebasing overwrites a branch’s history while merging preserves the history of both branches.

# When should I use Git rebase and Merge?
**Merge**  in public branches with team

**Rebase** in local, individual projects and is helpful for resolving conflicts one at a time
