git-tag:tldr:12026
The command "git tag ${tag_name} -m ${tag_message}" creates a new tag in a Git repository with a specified tag name and message. Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
-
"git tag": This is the main command to create a new tag in Git.
-
"${tag_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the tag you want to create. You should replace "${tag_name}" with the desired name for your new tag, for example, "v1.0.0" or "release-1.2".
-
"-m": This flag is short for "message" and is followed by "${tag_message}". It allows you to specify a custom message for the tag.
-
"${tag_message}": This is another placeholder for the actual message you want to associate with the tag. You should replace "${tag_message}" with the desired message for your tag, describing its purpose, changes, or any other relevant information.
To use this command, replace "${tag_name}" with your desired tag name and "${tag_message}" with your desired tag message, then execute it in your Git repository. The new tag will be created and associated with the specific commit at your current branch's HEAD.
