| git-mktag(1) | |
| ============ | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-mktag - Creates a tag object | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| [verse] | |
| 'git mktag' | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| ----------- | |
| Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object | |
| that can also be used to sign other objects. | |
| The output is the new tag's <object> identifier. | |
| Tag Format | |
| ---------- | |
| A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input, | |
| has a very simple fixed format: four lines of | |
| object <sha1> | |
| type <typename> | |
| tag <tagname> | |
| tagger <tagger> | |
| followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created | |
| by older Git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when | |
| exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The | |
| message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't | |
| care about, but that can be verified with gpg. | |
