git-mktag - Creates a tag object
git mktag
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.
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.
