git-mktag − Creates a tag object |
|
git mktag < signature_file |
|
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. |
|
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. |
