GIT-MKTAG(1)                   Git Manual                   GIT-MKTAG(1)

NAME top

       git-mktag - Creates a tag object

SYNOPSIS top

       git mktag

DESCRIPTION top

       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.

TAG FORMAT top

       A tag signature file, to be fed to this command’s standard input,
       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.

GIT top

       Part of the git(1) suite
