You can checkout a tag in git by using the following command:
git checkout tags/<tag-name> -b <new-local-branch>
If you exclude the -b flag, a new local branch will not be created, and you end up in a detached HEAD state.
You can list all tags by using the git tag command to see which tags are available.
