NAME
----
git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d | -v] [-m <msg> | -F <file>]
<name> [<head>]
'git-tag' -l [<pattern>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Adds a 'tag' reference in `.git/refs/tags/`
Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in
`.git/refs/tags/` directory.
If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command
creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless
`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type
in the tag message.
Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is
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).
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
Make an unsigned, annotated tag object
-s::
Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address's key
-u <key-id>::
Make a GPG-signed tag, using the given key
-f::
Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing)
-d::
Delete an existing tag with the given name
-v::
Verify the gpg signature of given the tag
-l <pattern>::
List tags that match the given pattern (or all if no pattern is given).
-m <msg>::
Use the given tag message (instead of prompting)
-F <file>::
Take the tag message from the given file. Use '-' to
read the message from the standard input.
