NAME

6       cg-tag - mark certain commit with a tag
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cg-tag [-m MESSAGE]... [-e] [-s] [OTHER_OPTIONS] TAG_NAME [OBJECT_ID]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Creates a tag referencing the given commit (or HEAD). You can then use
14       the tag anywhere you specify a commit or tree ID.
15
16       cg-tag will try to sign the tag if you give it the -s option. You can
17       override the default key choice by passing it the -k argument.
18
19       Takes the tag name and optionally the associated ID as arguments. When
20       the standard input is not a terminal, it will accept the tag
21       description on stdin.
22
23

OPTIONS

25       -e     Open editor for the tag description message.
26
27       -f     This will make cg-tag silently overwrite the tag if it already
28              exists.
29
30       -m MESSAGE
31              Message associated with the tag, describing it. Multiple -m
32              parameters will cause several description paragraphs to appear.
33
34       -M FILE
35              Include tag description message from a file (this has the same
36              effect as if you would cat it to stdin).
37
38       -k KEYNAME
39              Use the given key to sign the tag, instead of the default one.
40              You can use any key identifier GPG recognizes - the argument is
41              passed verbatim as the --default-key argument to GPG.
42
43       -s     Sign the tag by your private key using GPG.
44
45       OBJECT_ID
46              This is most usually the ID of the commit to tag. Tagging other
47              objects than commits is possible, but rather "unusual".
48
49       -h, --help
50              Print usage summary.
51
52       --long-help
53              Print user manual. The same as found in cg-tag(1).
