GIT-EVTAG(1)

πŸ’– GIT-EVTAG(1) πŸ’–

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 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

git-evtag β€” sign a git commit with extended checksums πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git evtag sign [OPTIONS...] {TAGNAME}
git evtag verify [OPTIONS...] {TAGNAME}

like… two moves. sign it, or verify it. that's the whole vibe πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

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 😭 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 πŸ‘‘


πŸ’œ OPTIONS πŸ’œ

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 πŸ“


and that's the page!! go sign something iconic and stay safe out there 🧚

β€” with love from git-evtag, GIT-EVTAG(1), mwah πŸ’‹πŸŽ€
