1 | git-mktag(1) |

| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | git-mktag - Creates a tag object | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | ||
| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| c1bdacf9 | 11 | 'git-mktag' < signature_file |
| 2cf565c5 DG |
12 | |
| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| c1bdacf9 DG |
15 | Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object |
| 16 | that can also be used to sign other objects. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | The output is the new tag's <object> identifier. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Tag Format | |
| 21 | ---------- | |
| 22 | A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: three lines of | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | object <sha1> | |
| 25 | type <typename> | |
| 26 | tag <tagname> | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | followed by some 'optional' free-form signature that git itself | |
| 29 | doesn't care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | The size of the full object is artificially limited to 8kB. (Just | |
| 32 | because I'm a lazy bastard, and if you can't fit a signature in that | |
| 33 | size, you're doing something wrong) | |
