1git-tag(1) 2========== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg>] <name> [<head>] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Adds a 'tag' reference in .git/refs/tags/ 16 17Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in 18`.git/refs/tags/` directory. 19 20If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command 21creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless 22`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type 23in the tag message. 24 25Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is 26written (i.e. a lightweight tag). 27 28A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u 29<key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the 30committer identity for the current user is used to find the 31GnuPG key for signing. 32 33`-d <tag>` deletes the tag. 34 35OPTIONS 36------- 37-a:: 38 Make an unsigned, annotated tag object 39 40-s:: 41 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address's key 42 43-u <key-id>:: 44 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the given key 45 46-f:: 47 Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing) 48 49-d:: 50 Delete an existing tag with the given name 51 52-m <msg>:: 53 Use the given tag message (instead of prompting) 54 55 56Author 57------ 58Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>, 59Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>. 60 61Documentation 62-------------- 63Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 64 65GIT 66--- 67Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
