6 git-mktag - Creates a tag object
11 'git-mktag' < signature_file
15 Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object
16 that can also be used to sign other objects.
18 The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
22 A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
29 followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created
30 by older git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when
31 exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The
32 message part may contain a signature that git itself doesn't
33 care about, but that can be verified with gpg.
