14 | DESCRIPTION | |
15 | ----------- | |
c1bdacf9 DG |
16 | Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object |
17 | that can also be used to sign other objects. | |
18 | ||
19 | The output is the new tag's <object> identifier. | |

21 | Tag Format | |
22 | ---------- | |
33e8fc87 JH |
23 | A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input, |
24 | has a very simple fixed format: four lines of | |
c1bdacf9 DG |
25 | |
26 | object <sha1> | |
27 | type <typename> | |
28 | tag <tagname> | |
6cfec036 | 29 | tagger <tagger> |
c1bdacf9 | 30 | |
6cfec036 | 31 | followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created |
2de9b711 | 32 | by older Git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when |
6cfec036 | 33 | exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The |
2de9b711 | 34 | message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't |
6cfec036 | 35 | care about, but that can be verified with gpg. |
