A tag is a name that references/points to a specific commit in the repository. By default, the tag points to the commit checked out in the working directory. To point to a specific commit, pass the commit ID to the `Target` parameter. If the tag already exists, this function will fail. If you want to update an existing tag to point to a different commit, use the `Force` switch. This function implements the `git tag <tagname> <target>` command. .EXAMPLE New-GitTag -Name 'BranchBaseline' Creates a new tag, `BranchBaseline`, for the HEAD of the current directory. .EXAMPLE New-GitTag -Name 'BranchBaseline' -Target 'branch' Demonstrates how to create a tag pointing to the head of a branch. .EXAMPLE New-GitTag -Name 'BranchBaseline' -Force Demonstrates how to change the target a tag points to, to the current HEAD. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [string] # Specifies which git repository to add the tag to. Defaults to the current directory. $RepoRoot = (Get-Location).ProviderPath, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string] # The name of the tag. $Name, [string] # The revision the tag should point to/reference. A revision can be a specific commit ID/sha (short or long), branch name, tag name, etc. Run git help gitrevisions or go to https://git-scm.com/docs/gitrevisions for full documentation on Git's revision syntax. $Revision = "HEAD", [Switch] # Overwrite existing tag to point at new target $Force ) Set-StrictMode -Version 'Latest' $repo = Find-GitRepository -Path $RepoRoot -Verify if ( -not $repo ) { return } try { if ( -not $Force -and (Test-GitTag -RepoRoot $RepoRoot -Name $Name) ) { Write-Error ("Tag '{0}' already exists. Please use a different tag name." -f $Name) return } $validTarget = $repo.Lookup($Revision) if ( -not $validTarget ) { Write-Error ("No valid git object identified by '{0}' exists in the repository." -f $Revision) return } $allowOverwrite = $false if ( $Force ) { $allowOverwrite = $true } $repo.Tags.Add($Name, $Revision, $allowOverwrite) } finally { $repo.Dispose() } } |
