  • When you have done all the cool work you want to do and get ready to tag it, you may think the right thing to do is this:

    # THIS IS WRONG!
    git tag 1.0

    ...but that does not create a tag. A tag is a special kind of object. It has a date, tagger (author) its own ID, and optionally a GPG signature. The default mechanism above creates something called a "lightweight" tag.
