Name

cg-tag - mark certain commit by a tag

cg-tag [-d DESCRIPTION] [-s [-k KEYNAME]] TAG_NAME [OBJECT_ID]

Creates a tag referencing the given commit (or HEAD). You can then use the tag anywhere you specify a commit or tree ID.

cg-tag will try to sign the tag if you give it the -s option. You can override the default key choice by passing it the -k argument.

Takes the tag name and optionally the associated ID as arguments.

-d DESCRIPTION

Description of the tag.
-k KEYNAME: Use the given key to sign the tag, instead of the default one. You can use any key identifier GPG recognizes - the argument is passed verbatim as the --default-key argument to GPG.
-s: Sign the tag by your private key using GPG.
OBJECT_ID: This is most usually the ID of the commit to tag. Tagging other objects than commits is possible, but rather "unusual".
-h, --help: Print usage summary.
--long-help: Print user manual. The same as found in gitlink:cg-tag[1].
