git-tag(1) ========== NAME ---- git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG SYNOPSIS -------- 'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u ] [-f] [-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. an 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. Author ------ Written by Linus Torvalds , Junio C Hamano and Chris Wright .
