+### Recover a deleted tag
+
+If you want to recover a tag that was already deleted, you can do so by following these steps: First, you need to find the unreachable tag:
+
+```sh
+$ git fsck --unreachable | grep tag
+```
+
+Make a note of the tag's hash. Then, restore the deleted tag with following, making use of git's [update-ref](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-ref):
+
+```sh
+$ git update-ref refs/tags/<tag_name> <hash>
+```
+
+Your tag should now have been restored.
