How to show latest release's Git tag with message
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Was creating a script to update a Github application in-place and needed to print changes made in the latest Git tagged release so users could make an informed decision about pulling the trigger on the update before altering a working production environment. A requirement was that I needed to alias the last tag because I wanted to automate as much as possible without having to change the tag that prints every release.
upgrade git repository github

Since your own solution appears to require that the checked out head match the tag you’re interested in, the following works without a separate git describe:
git tag -l -n10 --points-at HEAD

Outstanding: the most elegant solution is the one that strips out undue complexity. Yours accomplishes the task with a single command. Looks like yours is the only other way of achieving the desired outcome. Thanks bud-

To print the last annotated Git tag with 10 lines of the tag's comments:
git tag -l -n10 $(git describe)
If anybody has a pure Git solution that can achieve the same result- including aliasing the tag so it doesn't require constant changing in the script- with a single git command (mine uses two), please share-
