git-tag(1) ========== NAME ---- git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg>] <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. `-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 -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) Author ------ Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>, Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>.
