You could take a look at <code>git describe</code>, which does something close to what you're asking.

blocks|key|61483|text|我的第一个想法是，您可以使用git+rev-list+HEAD，它按时间倒序列出所有转速，并与git+tag+--contains结合使用。当您找到git+tag+--contains生成非空列表的ref时，您就找到了最新的标记。|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|offset|length|style|CODE|entityRanges|data|61484|entityMap^0|E|H|1B|I|22|I|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|H|8|@$9|I|A|J|B|C]|$9|K|A|L|B|C]|$9|M|A|N|B|C]]|D|@]|E|$]]|$1|F|3|-4|5|6|7|O|8|@]|D|@]|E|$]]]|G|$]]

My first thought is you could use <code>git rev-list HEAD</code>, which lists all the revs in reverse chronological order, in combination with <code>git tag --contains</code>. When you find a ref where <code>git tag --contains</code> produces a nonempty list, you have found the most recent tag(s).

How about this?

PreviousGitTag=`echo $PreviousAndCurrentGitTag | cut -f 2 -d ' '`

GitLog=`git log ${PreviousGitTag}..${CurrentGitTag} --pretty=oneline | sed "s_.\{41\}$.*$_; \1_"`

It suits my needs, but as I'm no git wizard, I'm sure it could be further improved. I also suspect it will break in case the commit history moves forward. I'm just sharing in case it helps someone.

IF YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE LAST TAG

(git describe --tags sometimes gives wrong hashes, i dont know why, but for me --max-count 2 doesnt work)

this is how you can get list with latest 2 tag names in reverse chronological order, works perfectly on git 1.8.4. 
For earlier versions of git(like 1.7.*), there is no "tag: " string in output - just delete last sed call

If you want more than 2 latest tags - change this "sed 2q" to "sed 5q" or whatever you need

Then you can easily parse every tag name to variable or so.

"Most recent" could have two meanings in terms of git.

You could mean, "which tag has the creation date latest in time", and most of the answers here are for that question. In terms of your question, you would want to return tag <code>c</code>. 

Or you could mean "which tag is the closest in development history to some named branch", usually the branch you are on, <code>HEAD</code>. In your question, this would return tag <code>a</code>.

These might be different of course:

<pre><code>A-&gt;B-&gt;C-&gt;D-&gt;E-&gt;F (HEAD)
 \ \
 \ X-&gt;Y-&gt;Z (v0.2)
 P-&gt;Q (v0.1)
</code></pre>

Imagine the developer tag'ed <code>Z</code> as <code>v0.2</code> on Monday, and then tag'ed <code>Q</code> as <code>v0.1</code> on Tuesday. <code>v0.1</code> is the more recent, but <code>v0.2</code> is closer in development history to HEAD, in the sense that the path it is on starts at a point closer to HEAD.

I think you usually want this second answer, closer in development history. You can find that out by using <code>git log v0.2..HEAD</code> etc for each tag. This gives you the number of commits on HEAD since the path ending at <code>v0.2</code> diverged from the path followed by HEAD.

Here's a Python script that does that by iterating through all the tags running this check, and then printing out the tag with fewest commits on HEAD since the tag path diverged:

<a href="https://github.com/MacPython/terryfy/blob/master/git-closest-tag">https://github.com/MacPython/terryfy/blob/master/git-closest-tag</a>

<code>git describe</code> does something slightly different, in that it tracks back from (e.g.) HEAD to find the first tag that is on a path back in the history from HEAD. In git terms, <code>git describe</code> looks for tags that are "reachable" from HEAD. It will therefore not find tags like <code>v0.2</code> that are not on the path back from HEAD, but a path that diverged from there.

What is wrong with all suggestions (except <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/24557377/173149">Matthew Brett</a> explanation, up to date of this answer post)?

Just run any command supplied by other on jQuery Git history when you at different point of history and check result with visual tagging history representation (I did that is why you see this post):

<pre><code>$ git log --graph --all --decorate --oneline --simplify-by-decoration
</code></pre>

Todays many project perform releases (and so tagging) in separate branch from mainline.

There are strong reason for this. Just look to any well established JS/CSS projects. For user conventions they carry binary/minified release files in DVCS. Naturally as project maintainer you don't want to garbage your mainline diff history with useless binary blobs and perform commit of build artifacts out of mainline.

Because Git uses DAG and not linear history - it is hard to define distance metric so we can say - oh that rev is most nearest to my <code>HEAD</code>!

I start my own journey in (look inside, I didn't copy fancy proof images to this long post):

<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33530606/what-is-nearest-tag-in-the-past-with-respect-to-branching-in-git">What is nearest tag in the past with respect to branching in Git?</a>

Currently I have 4 reasonable definition of distance between tag and revision with decreasing of usefulness:

<ul>
<li>length of shortest path from <code>HEAD</code> to merge base with tag</li>
<li>date of merge base between <code>HEAD</code> and tag</li>
<li>number of revs that reachable from HEAD but not reachable from tag</li>
<li>date of tag regardless merge base</li>
</ul>

I don't know how to calculate length of shortest path.

Script that sort tags according to date of merge base between <code>HEAD</code> and tag:

<pre><code>$ git tag \
 | while read t; do \
 b=`git merge-base HEAD $t`; \
 echo `git log -n 1 $b --format=%ai` $t; \
 done | sort
</code></pre>

It usable on most of projects.

Script that sort tags according to number of revs that reachable from HEAD but not reachable from tag:

<pre><code>$ git tag \
 | while read t; do echo `git rev-list --count $t..HEAD` $t; done \
 | sort -n
</code></pre>

If your project history have strange dates on commits (because of rebases or another history rewriting or some moron forget to replace BIOS battery or other magics that you do on history) use above script.

For last option (date of tag regardless merge base) to get list of tags sorted by date use:

<pre><code>$ git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ci %d" | sort -r
</code></pre>

To get known current revision date use:

<pre><code>$ git log --max-count=1
</code></pre>

Note that <code>git describe --tags</code> have usage on its own cases but not for finding human expected nearest tag in project history.

NOTE You can use above recipes on any revision, just replace <code>HEAD</code> with what you want!

This is an old thread, but it seems a lot of people are missing the simplest, easiest, and most correct answer to OP's question: to get the latest tag for the current branch, you use <code>git describe HEAD</code>. Done.

Edit: you can also supply any valid refname, even remotes; i.e., <code>git describe origin/master</code> will tell you the latest tag that can be reached from origin/master.

For the question as asked,

<blockquote>
 How to get the latest tag name in the current branch
</blockquote>

you want

<pre><code>git log --first-parent --pretty=%d | grep -m1 tag:
</code></pre>

<code>--first-parent</code> tells <code>git log</code> not to detail any merged histories, <code>--pretty=%d</code> says to show only the decorations i.e. local names for any commits. <code>grep -m1</code> says "match just one", so you get just the most-recent tag.

Not much mention of unannotated tags vs annotated ones here. 'describe' works on annotated tags and ignores unannotated ones. 

This is ugly but does the job requested and it will not find any tags on other branches (and not on the one specified in the command: master in the example below)

The filtering should prob be optimized (consolidated), but again, this seems to the the job.

<pre><code>git log --decorate --tags master |grep '^commit'|grep 'tag:.*)$'|awk '{print $NF}'|sed 's/)$//'|head -n 1

The problem with <code>describe</code> in CI/CD processes is you can run into the <code>fatal: no tags can describe</code> error.
This will occur because, per <code>git describe --help</code>:
<blockquote>
The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
</blockquote>
If you want the latest tag in the repo, regardless if the branch you are on can reach the tag, typically because it is not part of the current branch's tree, this command will give you the most recently created tag in the entire repo:
<pre><code>git tag -l --sort=-creatordate | head -n 1
</code></pre>

What's the simplest way to get the most recent tag in Git?

<pre><code>git tag a HEAD
git tag b HEAD^^
git tag c HEAD^
git tag
</code></pre>

output:

<pre><code>a
b
c
</code></pre>
