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