NAME

6       git-mktag - Creates a tag object
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git mktag
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object that
14       can also be used to sign other objects.
15
16       The output is the new tag’s <object> identifier.
17

TAG FORMAT

19       A tag signature file, to be fed to this command’s standard input, has a
20       very simple fixed format: four lines of
21
22           object <sha1>
23           type <typename>
24           tag <tagname>
25           tagger <tagger>
26
27       followed by some optional free-form message (some tags created by older
28       Git may not have tagger line). The message, when exists, is separated
29       by a blank line from the header. The message part may contain a
30       signature that Git itself doesn’t care about, but that can be verified
31       with gpg.
