git-mktag(1)
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-mktag - Creates a tag object with extra validation
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git mktag'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object. The
|
|
output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
|
|
|
|
This command is mostly equivalent to linkgit:git-hash-object[1]
|
|
invoked with `-t tag -w --stdin`. I.e. both of these will create and
|
|
write a tag found in `my-tag`:
|
|
|
|
git mktag <my-tag
|
|
git hash-object -t tag -w --stdin <my-tag
|
|
|
|
The difference is that mktag will die before writing the tag if the
|
|
tag doesn't pass a linkgit:git-fsck[1] check.
|
|
|
|
The "fsck" check done mktag is stricter than what linkgit:git-fsck[1]
|
|
would run by default in that all `fsck.<msg-id>` messages are promoted
|
|
from warnings to errors (so e.g. a missing "tagger" line is an error).
|
|
|
|
Extra headers in the object are also an error under mktag, but ignored
|
|
by linkgit:git-fsck[1]. This extra check can be turned off by setting
|
|
the appropriate `fsck.<msg-id>` variable:
|
|
|
|
git -c fsck.extraHeaderEntry=ignore mktag <my-tag-with-headers
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--strict::
|
|
By default mktag turns on the equivalent of
|
|
linkgit:git-fsck[1] `--strict` mode. Use `--no-strict` to
|
|
disable it.
|
|
|
|
Tag Format
|
|
----------
|
|
A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input,
|
|
has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
|
|
|
|
object <hash>
|
|
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 it
|
|
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.
