git-verify-tag:tldr:0b460

git-verify-tag: Check tags for a GPG signature and show details for each tag.
$ git verify-tag ${tag1 optional_tag2 ---} --verbose
try on your machine

This command is using the git verify-tag subcommand to verify the integrity and cryptographic signatures of one or more Git tags. Here is an explanation of the different components:

  • git verify-tag: This is the main command to verify the tags.
  • ${tag1 optional_tag2 ---}: This is the placeholder for the tags you want to verify. You can specify one or more tags separated by a space. The ${tag1} and optional_tag2 represent specific tag names you would replace with the actual tag names you want to verify. The --- is used as a delimiter to indicate the end of the command options and the beginning of tag names.
  • --verbose: This is an optional flag that provides additional detailed information during the verification process. It shows the tree, parent commit, author, committer, and other details related to the tag.

By running this command with the specified tag names, Git will verify the authenticity and integrity of the specified tags, ensuring they haven't been tampered with and have been signed by trusted sources. The --verbose flag enhances the output information for a more detailed verification process.
