CREATE TAG

Create a tag for a reference.

Syntax

CREATE TAG [ IF NOT EXISTS ] <tag_name>
   [ AT { REF[ERENCE] | BRANCH | TAG | COMMIT } <refValue> ]
   [ IN <source_name> ]

Parameters

[ IF NOT EXISTS ] Optional

If you include this optional clause, the command runs regardless of whether the tag exists and you receive a summary indicating whether the tag could be created. If this clause is not specified, the command fails if the tag to be created already exists.

---

<tag_name> String

The name of the tag that you are creating. If a source is not specified, the tag is created in the source specified in the query context.

---

AT { REF[ERENCE] | BRANCH | TAG | COMMIT } <reference_name> String   Optional

Specifies the reference where you want the new tag to be created from. When this parameter is omitted, the current reference is used.

• REF: Identifies a specific branch, tag, or commit.
• BRANCH: Identifies a specific branch.
• TAG: Identifies a specific tag.
• COMMIT: Identifies a specific commit. Commit hashes must be enclosed in double quotes (for example, “ff2fe50fef5a030c4fc8e61b252bdc33c72e2b6f929d813833d998b8368302e2”).
