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