NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-mktag - Creates a tag object |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-mktag' < signature_file |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
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 |
|
---------- |
|
A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: three lines of |
|
|
|
object <sha1> |
|
type <typename> |
|
tag <tagname> |
|
|
|
followed by some 'optional' free-form signature that git itself |
|
doesn't care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar. |
|
|
|
The size of the full object is artificially limited to 8kB. (Just |
|
because I'm a lazy bastard, and if you can't fit a signature in that |
|
size, you're doing something wrong) |
