How to create an annotated git-tag with a particular tagger-name, tagged-date?
The docs how to make it right have no such info.
From another stackoverflow question:
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
git tag <tag-name> [commit]
git push origin <tag-name>
I have to redefine global config settings - well this is clearly not a good way
The simple and CORRECT solution would be:
$ git mktag <tag-file >output
tag-file:
object <HASH> # hash of the commit we are want to set tag to
type commit
tag <NAME> # name of the tag
tagger Bob Dylan <[email protected]> 1484015966 +0000
Message
output:
<HASH> # hash of the created tag
after:
$ git update-ref refs/tags/<NAME of the created tag> <the HASH from output file>
