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: 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.
