Since I created my repository it appears that the tags I have been creating are not pushed to the repository. When I do git tag on the local directory all the tags are present, but when I logon to the remote repository and do a git tag, only the first few show up.
What could the problem be?
By default, tag objects (i.e. signed or annotated tags) attached to commits new to the remote being pushed to are pushed.
Lightweight tags and tags attached to commits already on the remote aren't pushed.
You can use git push --tags or push tags individually by name for a different behaviour.
In default git remote configuration you have to push tags explicitely (while they are fetched automatically together with commits they point to). You need to use
$ git push <remote> tag <tagname>
to push a single tag, or
$ git push <remote> --tags
to push all tags.
This is very much intended behaviour, to make pushing tags explicit. Pushing tags should be usually conscious choice.
Alternatively you can configure the remote you push to to always push all tags, e.g. put something like that in your .git/config:
[remote "publish"] # or whatever it is named
url = ...
push = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
push = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
This means force push all heads (all branches) and all tags (if you don't want force pushing of heads, remove '+' prefix from refspec).
