6 git-mktag - Creates a tag object
7
9 git mktag < signature_file
10
12 Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object that
13 can also be used to sign other objects.
14
15 The output is the new tag’s <object> identifier.
16
18 A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
19
20 object <sha1>
21 type <typename>
22 tag <tagname>
23 tagger <tagger>
24
25 followed by some optional free-form message (some tags created by older
26 git may not have tagger line). The message, when exists, is separated
27 by a blank line from the header. The message part may contain a
28 signature that git itself doesn’t care about, but that can be verified
29 with gpg.
