git-tag(1) ========== NAME ---- git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG SYNOPSIS -------- 'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u ] [-f | -d] [-m ] [] DESCRIPTION ----------- Adds a 'tag' reference in .git/refs/tags/ Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in `.git/refs/tags/` directory. If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u ` is passed, the command creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless `-m ` is given, an editor is started for the user to type in the tag message. Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is written (i.e. a lightweight tag). A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u ` is used. When `-u ` is not used, the committer identity for the current user is used to find the GnuPG key for signing. `-d ` deletes the tag. OPTIONS ------- -a:: Make an unsigned, annotated tag object -s:: Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address's key -u :: Make a GPG-signed tag, using the given key -f:: Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing) -d:: Delete an existing tag with the given name -m :: Use the given tag message (instead of prompting) Author ------ Written by Linus Torvalds , Junio C Hamano and Chris Wright .
