<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Add a tag reference in <code>refs/tags/</code>, unless <code>-d/-l/-v</code> is given
to delete, list or verify tags.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Unless <code>-f</code> is given, the named tag must not yet exist.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If one of <code>-a</code>, <code>-s</code>, or <code>-u <key-id></code> is passed, the command
creates a <em>tag</em> object, and requires a tag message. Unless
<code>-m <msg></code> or <code>-F <file></code> is given, an editor is started for the user to type
in the tag message.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If <code>-m <msg></code> or <code>-F <file></code> is given and <code>-a</code>, <code>-s</code>, and <code>-u <key-id></code>
are absent, <code>-a</code> is implied.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Otherwise, a tag reference that points directly at the given object
(i.e., a lightweight tag) is created.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when <code>-s</code> or <code>-u
<key-id></code> is used. When <code>-u <key-id></code> is not used, the
committer identity for the current user is used to find the
GnuPG key for signing. The configuration variable <code>gpg.program</code>
is used to specify custom GnuPG binary.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tag objects (created with <code>-a</code>, <code>-s</code>, or <code>-u</code>) 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).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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 <code>git describe</code>) will ignore
lightweight tags by default.</p></div>

<p>
Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address’s key.
The default behavior of tag GPG-signing is controlled by <code>tag.gpgSign</code>
configuration variable if it exists, or disabled otherwise.
See <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-n<num>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
<num> specifies how many lines from the annotation, if any,
are printed when using -l. Implies <code>--list</code>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The default is not to print any annotation lines.
If no number is given to <code>-n</code>, only the first line is printed.
If the tag is not annotated, the commit message is displayed instead.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-l
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--list
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
List tags. With optional <code><pattern>...</code>, e.g. <code>git tag --list
'v-*'</code>, list only the tags that match the pattern(s).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Running "git tag" without arguments also lists all tags. The pattern
is a shell wildcard (i.e., matched using fnmatch(3)). Multiple
patterns may be given; if any of them matches, the tag is shown.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This option is implicitly supplied if any other list-like option such
as <code>--contains</code> is provided. See the documentation for each of those
options for details.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--sort=<key>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sort based on the key given. Prefix <code>-</code> to sort in
descending order of the value. You may use the --sort=<key> option
multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
key. Also supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag
names are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort
order can also be affected by the "versionsort.suffix"
configuration variable.
The keys supported are the same as those in <code>git for-each-ref</code>.
Sort order defaults to the value configured for the <code>tag.sort</code>
variable if it exists, or lexicographic order otherwise. See
<a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_on_re_tagging">On Re-tagging</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>What should you do when you tag a wrong commit and you would
want to re-tag?</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you never pushed anything out, just re-tag it. Use "-f" to
replace the old one. And you’re done.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>But if you have pushed things out (or others could just read
your repository directly), then others will have already seen
the old tag. In that case you can do one of two things:</p></div>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>
The sane thing.
Just admit you screwed up, and use a different name. Others have
already seen one tag-name, and if you keep the same name, you
may be in the situation that two people both have "version X",
but they actually have <em>different</em> "X"'s. So just call it "X.1"
and be done with it.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The insane thing.
You really want to call the new version "X" too, <em>even though</em>
others have already seen the old one. So just use <em>git tag -f</em>
again, as if you hadn’t already published the old one.
</p>
</li>
</ol></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>However, Git does <strong>not</strong> (and it should not) change tags behind
users back. So if somebody already got the old tag, doing a
<em>git pull</em> on your tree shouldn’t just make them overwrite the old
one.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If somebody got a release tag from you, you cannot just change
the tag for them by updating your own one. This is a big
security issue, in that people MUST be able to trust their
tag-names. If you really want to do the insane thing, you need
to just fess up to it, and tell people that you messed up. You
can do that by making a very public announcement saying:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>Ok, I messed up, and I pushed out an earlier version tagged as X. I
then fixed something, and retagged the *fixed* tree as X again.
If you got the wrong tag, and want the new one, please delete
the old one and fetch the new one by doing:
git tag -d X
git fetch origin tag X
to get my updated tag.
You can test which tag you have by doing
git rev-parse X
which should return 0123456789abcdef.. if you have the new version.
Sorry for the inconvenience.</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Does this seem a bit complicated? It <strong>should</strong> be. There is no
way that it would be correct to just "fix" it automatically.
People need to know that their tags might have been changed.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_on_automatic_following">On Automatic following</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you are following somebody else’s tree, you are most likely
using remote-tracking branches (eg. <code>refs/remotes/origin/master</code>).
You usually want the tags from the other end.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>On the other hand, if you are fetching because you would want a
one-shot merge from somebody else, you typically do not want to
get tags from there. This happens more often for people near
the toplevel but not limited to them. Mere mortals when pulling
from each other do not necessarily want to automatically get
private anchor point tags from the other person.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Often, "please pull" messages on the mailing list just provide
two pieces of information: a repo URL and a branch name; this
is designed to be easily cut&pasted at the end of a <em>git fetch</em>
command line:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>Linus, please pull from
git://git..../proj.git master
to get the following updates...</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>becomes:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git pull git://git..../proj.git master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In such a case, you do not want to automatically follow the other
person’s tags.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>One important aspect of Git is its distributed nature, which
largely means there is no inherent "upstream" or
"downstream" in the system. On the face of it, the above
example might seem to indicate that the tag namespace is owned
by the upper echelon of people and that tags only flow downwards, but
that is not the case. It only shows that the usage pattern
determines who are interested in whose tags.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A one-shot pull is a sign that a commit history is now crossing
the boundary between one circle of people (e.g. "people who are
primarily interested in the networking part of the kernel") who may
have their own set of tags (e.g. "this is the third release
candidate from the networking group to be proposed for general
consumption with 2.6.21 release") to another circle of people
(e.g. "people who integrate various subsystem improvements").
The latter are usually not interested in the detailed tags used
internally in the former group (that is what "internal" means).
That is why it is desirable not to follow tags automatically in
this case.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It may well be that among networking people, they may want to
exchange the tags internal to their group, but in that workflow
they are most likely tracking each other’s progress by
having remote-tracking branches. Again, the heuristic to automatically
follow such tags is a good thing.</p></div>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_on_backdating_tags">On Backdating Tags</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you have imported some changes from another VCS and would like
to add tags for major releases of your work, it is useful to be able
to specify the date to embed inside of the tag object; such data in
the tag object affects, for example, the ordering of tags in the
gitweb interface.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>To set the date used in future tag objects, set the environment
variable GIT_COMMITTER_DATE (see the later discussion of possible
values; the most common form is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM").</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For example:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="2006-10-02 10:31" git tag -s v1.0.1</code></pre>
