Create Tag to Remote Repository using Cake Build

Question

I am committing and pushing a project into remote using a Cake Build task:

GitAddAll(".");  

GitCommit(".", authorName, authorEmail, message); 

GitTag(".", version);   

GitPush(".", username, password, "master);

The files are being committed to local repository and pushed to remote.

And the tag is being created in local repository but is not being created in remote.

How can I create the tag in remote repository, e.g. Github?

as I posted in my question, if your solution folder under source control

#addin "Cake.Git"
var solutionFolder = "./";
var versionTag = "someTag";

Task("Default")
    .Does(() =>
    {
        GitTag(solutionFolder, versionTag);
        GitPushRef(solutionFolder, gitUser, gitPassword, "origin", versionTag); 
    }
});

Push tags explicitly. Or configure push.followTags = true.

I think it's `GitPush(".", username, password, version);` – phd Jun 11 '17 at 16:53
I did not find such a method? Only one with username, password and branch – Miguel Moura Jun 11 '17 at 16:56
And where do you set FollowTags to true? – Miguel Moura Jun 11 '17 at 16:58

I think GitPush should push any ref: commit ID, branch or tag. If not try [GitPushRef](http://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Git/GitAliases/FB8D8875). In command line it's `git config push.followTags true`. – phd Jun 11 '17 at 17:00
