| .SH "NAME" |
| git-mktag \- Creates a tag object with extra validation |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \fIgit mktag\fR |
| .fi |
| .sp |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object\&. The output is the new tag\(cqs <object> identifier\&. |
| .sp |
| This command is mostly equivalent to \fBgit-hash-object\fR(1) invoked with \fB\-t tag \-w \-\-stdin\fR\&. I\&.e\&. both of these will create and write a tag found in \fBmy\-tag\fR: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git mktag <my\-tag |
| git hash\-object \-t tag \-w \-\-stdin <my\-tag |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| The difference is that mktag will die before writing the tag if the tag doesn\(cqt pass a \fBgit-fsck\fR(1) check\&. |
| .sp |
| The "fsck" check done mktag is stricter than what \fBgit-fsck\fR(1) would run by default in that all \fBfsck\&.<msg\-id>\fR messages are promoted from warnings to errors (so e\&.g\&. a missing "tagger" line is an error)\&. |
| .sp |
| Extra headers in the object are also an error under mktag, but ignored by \fBgit-fsck\fR(1)\&. This extra check can be turned off by setting the appropriate \fBfsck\&.<msg\-id>\fR varible: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git \-c fsck\&.extraHeaderEntry=ignore mktag <my\-tag\-with\-headers |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .PP |
| \-\-strict |
| .RS 4 |
| By default mktag turns on the equivalent of |
| \fBgit-fsck\fR(1) |
| \fB\-\-strict\fR |
| mode\&. Use |
| \fB\-\-no\-strict\fR |
| to disable it\&. |
| .RE |
| .SH "TAG FORMAT" |
| .sp |
| A tag signature file, to be fed to this command\(cqs standard input, has a very simple fixed format: four lines of |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| object <hash> |
| type <typename> |
| tag <tagname> |
| tagger <tagger> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| followed by some \fIoptional\fR free\-form message (some tags created by older Git may not have \fBtagger\fR 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\(cqt care about, but that can be verified with gpg\&. |
| .SH "GIT" |
| .sp |
| Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite |
