vers repo tag update

Atomically move a tag to a new commit, or change its description. No VMs are touched by this operation; it’s a metadata-only pointer update.

Synopsis

Description

Updates a tag in place. You must supply at least one of --commit or --description. The most common use is advancing a rolling tag like latest to point at a new build:
The previous commit is not deleted; it’s simply no longer named by this tag. If you had other tags pointing at it, they’re unaffected.
The new commit must be owned by your org, same rule as vers repo tag create.

Options

Examples

Rolling latest forward after a new build

Rolling back

Editing the description

Both at once

Error Cases

Repository or tag not found

Commit not found or forbidden

Nothing to update

Notes

The CLI currently cannot clear a description (send null). The underlying API supports it via PATCH with an explicit null field, but the current vers repo tag update flags only let you overwrite with a new string or skip the field entirely.
