I frequently look at the latest tag when working on Postach.io in Git and because we have so many it takes me a few seconds to look through the list to find the latest one. This little snippet can do that for me in one command!
git describe --abbrev=0 --tags
An even better way to have this work is to add it to my aliases in terminal and call one command instead of remembering this chain of arguments:
alias glt="git describe --abbrev=0 --tags"
Now in your terminal you can call:
glt
