NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-mktag - Creates a tag object
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-mktag' < signature_file
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object
|
|
that can also be used to sign other objects.
|
|
|
|
The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
|
|
|
|
Tag Format
|
|
----------
|
|
A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
|
|
|
|
object <sha1>
|
|
type <typename>
|
|
tag <tagname>
|
|
tagger <tagger>
|
|
|
|
followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created
|
|
by older git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when
|
|
exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The
|
|
message part may contain a signature that git itself doesn't
|
|
care about, but that can be verified with gpg.
