NAME
git-mktag - Creates a tag object SYNOPSIS
git mktag < signature_file DESCRIPTION
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. TAG FORMAT
A tag signature file 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. GIT
Part of the git(1) suite Git 1.8.5.3 01/14/2014 GIT-MKTAG(1)

git var ( -l | <variable> ) DESCRIPTION

GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT The author of a piece of code. GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT The person who put a piece of code into Git. GIT_EDITOR Text editor for use by Git commands.

The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR environment variable, then core.editor configuration, then $VISUAL, then $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile time, which is usually vi. GIT_PAGER Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., less). The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference is the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration, then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at compile time (usually less). SEE ALSO
