title: Tagging a GitHub project through Jenkins
body: <p>Our team has recently moved from a locally hosted Subversion repository to a private GitHub repository.  In the past, when we had a build that we were ready to mark as 'released', we would use the 'Tag this build' sidebar link to add a SVN tag on the contents of the build.</p>
  
  <p>With the move to GitHub, I have tagging of a build working in Jenkins, but it only seems to tag the build locally.  The tag displays up if I run <code>git tag</code> in the workspace directory, but it never gets pushed to GitHub.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to have Jenkins push a tag to a remote repository whenever the build is tagged through Jenkins?</p>
