6 git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG
11 'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg>] <name> [<head>]
15 Adds a 'tag' reference in .git/refs/tags/
17 Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in
18 `.git/refs/tags/` directory.
20 If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command
21 creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless
22 `-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type
25 Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is
26 written (i.e. a lightweight tag).
28 A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u
29 <key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the
30 committer identity for the current user is used to find the
31 GnuPG key for signing.
33 `-d <tag>` deletes the tag.
38 Make an unsigned, annotated tag object
41 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address's key
44 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the given key
47 Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing)
50 Delete an existing tag with the given name
53 Use the given tag message (instead of prompting)
