| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f] [-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. an 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. |
