+NAME
+----
+git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d] [-m <msg>] <name> [<head>]
+'git-tag' -l [<pattern>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Adds a 'tag' reference in `.git/refs/tags/`
+
+Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in
+`.git/refs/tags/` directory.
+
+If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command
+creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message.  Unless
+`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type
+in the tag message.
+
+Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is
+written (i.e. a lightweight tag).
+
+A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u
+<key-id>` is used.  When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the
+committer identity for the current user is used to find the
+GnuPG key for signing.
+
+`-d <tag>` deletes the tag.
+
+`-l <pattern>` lists tags that match the given pattern (or all
+if no pattern is given).
+
+OPTIONS

+
+-u <key-id>::

+
+-f::
+	Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing)
+
+-d::

+
+-l <pattern>::
