git-tag(1)
==========
 
NAME
----
git-tag -  Create a tag object signed with GPG
 
 
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg>] <name> [<head>]
 
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 <key-id>` is passed, the command
creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message.  Unless
`-m <msg>` 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
<key-id>` is used.  When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the
committer identity for the current user is used to find the
GnuPG key for signing.
 
`-d <tag>` 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 <key-id>::
	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 <msg>::
	Use the given tag message (instead of prompting)
