7 git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG
13 'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f] [-m <msg>] <name>
17 Adds a 'tag' reference in .git/refs/tags/
19 Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in
20 `.git/refs/tags/` directory.
22 If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command
23 creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless
24 `-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type
27 Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is
28 written (i.e. an lightweight tag).
30 A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u
31 <key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the
32 committer identity for the current user is used to find the
33 GnuPG key for signing.
