Running `git describe` will give you the nearest tag. gitk will also show you the tag in a manner similar to how it displays a branch head.

Btw: gitg is a slightly more modern looking gitk alternative :)

(it also shows tags similar to branch heads)

On the other hand, gitk is light, simple, cross-platform, and works.

You're right, gitg doesn't work on macOS. But since I'm only using Windows and Linux it works for me :)
