Where are tag messages in Sourcetree

Question

Where can I access the corresponding message of git tags in Sourcetree. The context menu of a tag seems not to offer such an option.

This is dependent on whether it's Mac or Windows, and whether you're using Git or Mercurial. Since you're using Git that information is available - you can just context-click on a tag from the sidebar and click 'Details' which will show you the metadata related to that tag.

Hope that helps.

Is there any way to view this without going to the Tab list? Ie. By right-clicking on a tag inside the source tree? – Angelo Dec 12 '14 at 01:32

git show tag-name

will show you the message and the commit the tag is pointing to including it's message as well.

I don't know of a way to see it via gitk.

I know, but how do I access this message in Sourcetree, the git gui – wnrph Oct 13 '12 at 08:50
There is no option for that unfortunately. File a feature request? – Adam Dymitruk Oct 13 '12 at 20:06
In gitk you can just click the tag and it will show the message. – Warpzit Oct 12 '18 at 11:40
