NAME

6       git-mktag - Creates a tag object
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git mktag < signature_file
10

DESCRIPTION

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

TAG FORMAT

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.
