-'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f] [-m <msg>] <name> [<head>]

+'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d | -v] [-m <msg> | -F <file>]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Adds a 'tag' reference in .git/refs/tags/
+Adds a 'tag' reference in `.git/refs/tags/`
Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in
`.git/refs/tags/` directory.
in the tag message.
Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is
-written (i.e. an lightweight tag).
+written (i.e. a lightweight tag).
A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u
<key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the
committer identity for the current user is used to find the
GnuPG key for signing.
+`-d <tag>` deletes the tag.
+
+`-v <tag>` verifies the gpg signature of the tag.
+
+`-l <pattern>` lists tags that match the given pattern (or all
+if no pattern is given).
