 Once you have produced builds that you're happy with, create a new tag. By waiting until this stage to create tags, you can discard a proposed release if something goes wrong or additional commits are required. Once you have created a tag and pushed it to GitHub, you ***should not*** delete and re-tag. If you make a mistake after tagging then you'll have to version-bump and start again and count that tag/version as lost.
