  30. .SH "NAME"
  31. git-mktag \- Creates a tag object with extra validation
  32. .SH "SYNOPSIS"
  33. .sp
  34. .nf
  35. \fIgit mktag\fR
  36. .fi
  37. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  38. .sp
  39. Reads a tag\(cqs contents on standard input and creates a tag object\&. The output is the new tag\(cqs <object> identifier\&.
  40. .sp
  41. This command is mostly equivalent to \fBgit-hash-object\fR(1) invoked with \fB\-t\fR \fBtag\fR \fB\-w\fR \fB\-\-stdin\fR\&. I\&.e\&. both of these will create and write a tag found in \fBmy\-tag\fR:
  42. .sp
  43. .if n \{\
  44. .RS 4
  45. .\}
  46. .nf
  47. git mktag <my\-tag
  48. git hash\-object \-t tag \-w \-\-stdin <my\-tag
  49. .fi
  50. .if n \{\
  51. .RE
  52. .\}
  53. .sp
  54. The difference is that mktag will die before writing the tag if the tag doesn\(cqt pass a \fBgit-fsck\fR(1) check\&.
  55. .sp
  56. The "fsck" check done by mktag is stricter than what \fBgit-fsck\fR(1) would run by default in that all \fBfsck\&.\fR\fI<msg\-id>\fR messages are promoted from warnings to errors (so e\&.g\&. a missing "tagger" line is an error)\&.
  57. .sp
  58. 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\&.\fR\fI<msg\-id>\fR variable:
  59. .sp
  60. .if n \{\
  61. .RS 4
  62. .\}
  63. .nf
  64. git \-c fsck\&.extraHeaderEntry=ignore mktag <my\-tag\-with\-headers
  65. .fi
  66. .if n \{\
  67. .RE
  68. .\}
  69. .SH "OPTIONS"
  70. .PP
  71. \-\-strict
  72. .RS 4
  73. By default mktag turns on the equivalent of
  74. \fBgit-fsck\fR(1)
  75. \fB\-\-strict\fR
  76. mode\&. Use
  77. \fB\-\-no\-strict\fR
  78. to disable it\&.
  79. .RE
  80. .SH "TAG FORMAT"
  81. .sp
  82. A tag signature file, to be fed to this command\(cqs standard input, has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
  83. .sp
  84. .if n \{\
  85. .RS 4
  86. .\}
  87. .nf
  88. object <hash>
  89. type <typename>
  90. tag <tagname>
  91. tagger <tagger>
  92. .fi
  93. .if n \{\
  94. .RE
  95. .\}
  96. .sp
  97. followed by some \fIoptional\fR free\-form message (some tags created by older Git may not have a \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\&.
  98. .SH "GIT"
  99. .sp
  100. Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite
