man git-tag (Commandes) - Create a tag object signed with GPG
NAME
git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG
SYNOPSIS
git-tag [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg>] <name> [<head>]
DESCRIPTION
Adds a tag reference in .git/refs/tags/
Unless -f is given, the tag must not yet exist in .git/refs/tags/ directory.
If one of -a, -s, or -u <key-id> is passed, the command creates a tag object, and requires the tag message. Unless -m <msg> is given, an editor is started for the user to type in the tag message.
Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is written (i.e. a lightweight tag).
A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when -s or -u <key-id> is used. When -u <key-id> is not used, the committer identity for the current user is used to find the GnuPG key for signing.
-d <tag> deletes the tag.
