| git-mktag(1) | |
| ============ | |
| v0.1, May 2005 | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-mktag - Creates a tag object | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git-mktag' < signature_file | |
| 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 has a very simple fixed format: three lines of | |
| object <sha1> | |
| type <typename> | |
| tag <tagname> | |
| followed by some 'optional' free-form signature that git itself | |
| doesn't care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar. | |
| The size of the full object is artificially limited to 8kB. (Just | |
| because I'm a lazy bastard, and if you can't fit a signature in that | |
| size, you're doing something wrong) | |
