GIT-MKTAG(1)                     Git Manual                     GIT-MKTAG(1)
       git-mktag - Creates a tag object
       git mktag
       Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object that
       can also be used to sign other objects.
       The output is the new tag’s <object> identifier.
       A tag signature file, to be fed to this command’s standard input, has
       a very simple fixed format: four lines of
           object <sha1>
           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 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.
