Can I display Tag name of Git in Android Studio?

I use Github in my project with Android Studio 3.4.1. I add a Tag name Milestone_A for a commit, please see Image A.

1： How can I set in order to see the Tag name Milestone_A in Log view ? At present there only a icon is displayed, I have to hover mouse and see the tag name from Hint.

2： Will the tag name Milestone_A be synchronized to remote Github, or is it only stored local disk ?

Addressing the first part (Android Studio 4.2.2)

I've also researched for the tag names in the panel, and I was able to find where it is. It was open by default on Linux but it's closed by default on Windows, apparently.

Here is how to do it:

  1. In the git log, find the eye icon called Presentation Settings:

git panel

git panel 2

  1. Check the Show tag names option after clicking to Presentation Settings.

git panel 3

There are also other formatting options that could be useful to some people.

Adressing the second part, about tag syncing

No, the sending part needs to be explicitly done.

To send tags, you can either check the "Push tags" box in the push dialog of Android Studio before you push a branch, or alternatively, at any time even without the need to push a branch, open the console and fire a simple git push --tags

For the other part, receiving tags, new ones will be fetched from the remote end each time you fetch or pull (from both CLI or GUI).
