App Template tags

In this essentials article, we learned about App Template revisions. It's a very useful mechanism, but during the development of your App, you might reach the point when simple number-based ordering of your App Template revisions is not enough: you'd have to remember (or use an external tool) which number contains what code changes. ArconQ addresses this problem with App Template revision tags.

The tag is an additional metadata (keyword or term) associated with a given App Template revision; it works similarly to what you might know from the Git version control system. Tags are created when you upload your App Template to the ArconQ platform. It is only possible to add tags using ArconQ CLI: tags can be provided in the CLI push command or described in the .arconq file. Multiple tags are allowed.

If an App uses a revision that contains tags, then they will be displayed in:
