NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Tag - tag the new version

VERSION

       version 2.019

SYNOPSIS

       In your dist.ini:

           [Git::Tag]
           tag_format  = v%v       ; this is the default
           tag_message = v%v       ; this is the default

DESCRIPTION

       Once the release is done, this plugin will record this fact in git by creating a tag.  By
       default, it makes an annotated tag.  You can set the "tag_message" attribute to change the
       message.  If you set "tag_message" to the empty string, it makes a lightweight tag.

       It also checks before the release to ensure the tag to be created doesn't already exist.
       (You would have to manually delete the existing tag before you could release the same
       version again, but that is almost never a good idea.)

   Plugin options
       The plugin accepts the following options:

       •   tag_format - format of the tag to apply. Defaults to "v%v", see "Formatting options"
           below.

       •   tag_message - format of the tag annotation. Defaults to "v%v", see "Formatting
           options" below. Use "tag_message = " to create a lightweight tag.

       •   time_zone - the time zone to use with %d.  Can be any time zone name accepted by
           DateTime.  Defaults to "local".

       •   branch - which branch to tag. Defaults to current branch.

       •   signed - whether to make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address' key.
           Consider setting "user.signingkey" if "gpg" can't find the correct key:

               $ git config user.signingkey 450F89EC

   Formatting options
       Some plugin options allow you to customize the tag content. You can use the following
       codes at your convenience:

       "%{dd-MMM-yyyy}d"
           The current date.  You can use any CLDR format supported by DateTime. A bare %d means
           "%{dd-MMM-yyyy}d".

       %n  A newline

       %N  The distribution name

       "%{-TRIAL}t"
           Expands to -TRIAL (or any other supplied string) if this is a trial release, or the
           empty string if not.  A bare %t means "%{-TRIAL}t".

       %v  The distribution version

METHODS

           my $tag = $plugin->tag;
