GnuPG key for signing. The configuration variable `gpg.program`

is used to specify custom GnuPG binary.

|

Tag objects (created with `-a`, `s`, or `-u`) are called "annotated"
|
||||
tags; they contain a creation date, the tagger name and e-mail, a
|
||||
tagging message, and an optional GnuPG signature. Whereas a
|
||||
"lightweight" tag is simply a name for an object (usually a commit
|
||||
object).
|
||||
|
||||
Annotated tags are meant for release while lightweight tags are meant
|
||||
for private or temporary object labels. For this reason, some git
|
||||
commands for naming objects (like `git describe`) will ignore
|
||||
lightweight tags by default.
