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