Is There A Way To Get Tag Objects Instead Of Reference Ones When Listing Tags From A Repository?

I'm able to successfully list tags from a repository using github3 using: repo.iter_refs(subspace='tags') That results in a generator of github3.git.Reference objects. Is there a

Solution 1:

So the only way to get a github3.git.Tag object back is if you're trying to retrieve a specific annotated tag (which is a tag created in a very specific manner).

If this is what you're trying to do then your code would look something like

tags = [repo.tag(r.object.sha) for r in repo.iter_refs(subspace='refs')]

You can get a lightweight tag (which is what most tags on GitHub actually are) by either your current method or by doing repo.iter_tags(). Either will work. The latter will return github3.repos.RepoTag, not a github3.git.Tag though because the API returns much different information for each.
