1git-tag(1) 2========== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg> | -F <file>] 13 <name> [<head>] 14'git-tag' -l [<pattern>] 15 16DESCRIPTION 17----------- 18Adds a 'tag' reference in `.git/refs/tags/` 19 20Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in 21`.git/refs/tags/` directory. 22 23If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command 24creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless 25`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type 26in the tag message. 27 28Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is 29written (i.e. a lightweight tag). 30 31A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u 32<key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the 33committer identity for the current user is used to find the 34GnuPG key for signing. 35 36`-d <tag>` deletes the tag. 37 38`-l <pattern>` lists tags that match the given pattern (or all 39if no pattern is given). 40 41OPTIONS 42------- 43-a:: 44 Make an unsigned, annotated tag object 45 46-s:: 47 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address's key 48 49-u <key-id>:: 50 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the given key 51 52-f:: 53 Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing) 54 55-d:: 56 Delete an existing tag with the given name 57 58-l <pattern>:: 59 List tags that match the given pattern (or all if no pattern is given). 60 61-m <msg>:: 62 Use the given tag message (instead of prompting) 63 64-F <file>:: 65 Take the tag message from the given file. Use '-' to 66 read the message from the standard input. 67 68Author 69------ 70Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>, 71Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>. 72 73Documentation 74-------------- 75Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 76 77GIT 78--- 79Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
