Previous tags/releases are not visible in public repository

Body

I’m unable to view previous tags or releases for my public repository smallbunnies/Solverz, despite the presence of the "Releases" button on the repository page.

When inspecting the locally cloned repository on my machine, the tags appear as expected (verified via git tag/git show-ref --tags).

This discrepancy suggests a bug in GitHub’s UI or repository synchronization.

When inspecting the locally cloned repository on my machine, the tags appear as expected (verified via git tag/git show-ref --tags)

I just cloned your repo and the only tag available was 0.6.0. Can you try running git push --tags to push all tags or git push origin TAG_NAME to push a specific tag?

Thank you! This solution works perfectly. I can now view previous releases by clicking the "Releases" button on the repository page.

However, I've encountered a new issue: when creating release notes, I'm unable to select the previous tag 0.5.2. Only the latest release 0.6.0 appears as an option. Could this indicate another bug?

When you click "Draft new release", the older tags should be available in the "Choose a tag" dropdown.

Alternatively, if you go to the "Tags" tab and pick an older tab, you should be able to click a button "Create release from tag".

Warning

You probably want to uncheck "Set as the latest release" since these appear to be older versions that you're trying to upload.
