DESCRIPTION
-n<num>::
<num> specifies how many lines from the annotation, if any,
- are printed when using -l.
- The default is not to print any annotation lines.
- If no number is given to `-n`, only the first line is printed.
- If the tag is not annotated, the commit message is displayed instead.
-
--l <pattern>::
---list <pattern>::
- List tags with names that match the given pattern (or all if no
- pattern is given). Running "git tag" without arguments also
- lists all tags. The pattern is a shell wildcard (i.e., matched
- using fnmatch(3)). Multiple patterns may be given; if any of
- them matches, the tag is shown.
+ are printed when using -l. Implies `--list`.

+The default is not to print any annotation lines.
+If no number is given to `-n`, only the first line is printed.
+If the tag is not annotated, the commit message is displayed instead.

+-l::
+--list::
+ List tags. With optional `<pattern>...`, e.g. `git tag --list
+ 'v-*'`, list only the tags that match the pattern(s).
++
+Running "git tag" without arguments also lists all tags. The pattern
+is a shell wildcard (i.e., matched using fnmatch(3)). Multiple
+patterns may be given; if any of them matches, the tag is shown.
++
+This option is implicitly supplied if any other list-like option such
+as `--contains` is provided. See the documentation for each of those
+options for details.
--sort=<key>::
Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in
--contains [<commit>]::
Only list tags which contain the specified commit (HEAD if not
- specified).
+ specified). Implies `--list`.
+
+--no-contains [<commit>]::
+ Only list tags which don't contain the specified commit (HEAD if
+ not specified). Implies `--list`.
+
+--merged [<commit>]::
+ Only list tags whose commits are reachable from the specified
+ commit (`HEAD` if not specified), incompatible with `--no-merged`.
+
+--no-merged [<commit>]::
+ Only list tags whose commits are not reachable from the specified
+ commit (`HEAD` if not specified), incompatible with `--merged`.
--points-at <object>::
- Only list tags of the given object.
+ Only list tags of the given object (HEAD if not
+ specified). Implies `--list`.
-m <msg>::
--message=<msg>::
Defaults to HEAD.
<format>::
- A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from the object
- pointed at by a ref being shown. The format is the same as
+ A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from a tag ref being shown
+ and the object it points at. The format is the same as
that of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. When unspecified,
defaults to `%(refname:strip=2)`.
---[no-]merged [<commit>]::
- Only list tags whose tips are reachable, or not reachable
- if `--no-merged` is used, from the specified commit (`HEAD`
- if not specified).
