git-evtag(1)

git-evtag1

Sign a git commit with extended checksums

Usage

git evtag sign [OPTIONS ...] TAGNAME

git evtag verify [OPTIONS ...] TAGNAME

Overview

While git can use GPG to sign tags and commits, it only covers a commit object, which is subject to SHA1 weaknesses. This tool uses SHA512 across the entire content of a tag, creating a stronger level of assurance.

Options

See the subcommand help, e.g. git-evtag sign --help.
