π GIT-EVTAG(1) π
okay bestie, welcome to git-evtag β the manual page, but make it cute. grab a boba, sit down, we're signing commits the strong way π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
git-evtag β sign a git commit with extended checksums π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
git evtag sign [OPTIONS...] {TAGNAME}
git evtag verify [OPTIONS...] {TAGNAME}
likeβ¦ two moves. sign it, or verify it. that's the whole vibe π₯
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the tea, bestie β
git can use GPG to sign tags and commits, sure. but the way it does it, it only covers a commit object β and that commit object is subject to SHA1 weaknesses π yikes fr fr. SHA1 is giving expired milk energy. it is NOT the moment.
this tool instead uses SHA512 across the entire content of a tag, which creates a stronger level of assurance. it's giving main character security. it's giving "I did my research." periodt π
π OPTIONS π
ngl this page keeps it mysterious β the options live in the subcommand help:
- check the subcommand help, e.g.
git-evtag sign --help
that's the whole list. go ask the subcommand, it'll spill everything π
and that's the page!! go sign something iconic and stay safe out there π§
β with love from git-evtag, GIT-EVTAG(1), mwah ππ
