## Existing version tags
**semantic-release** uses [Git tags](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging) to determine the commits added since the last release. If a release have been published before setting up **semantic-release** you must make sure the most recent commit included in the last published release is in the [release branch](#branch) history and is tagged with the version released, formatted according to the [tag format](#tagformat) configured (defaults to `vx.y.z`).
If the previous releases were published with [`npm publish`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/publish) this should already be the case.
For example, if your release branch is `master`, the last release published on your project is `1.1.0` and the last commit included has the sha `1234567`, you must make sure this commit is in `master` history and is tagged with `v1.1.0`.
```bash
# Make sure the commit 1234567 is in the release branch history
$ git branch --contains 1234567
# If the commit is not in the branch history it means that either:
# - you use a different branch than the one your release from before
# - or the commit sha has been rewritten (with git rebase)
# In both cases you need to configure your repository to have the last release commit in the history of the release branch
# List the tags for the commit 1234567
$ git tag --contains 1234567
# If v1.1.0 is not in the list you add it with
$ git tag v1.1.0 1234567
$ git push origin v1.1.0
```
