Signing tags

You can sign tags locally using GPG or S/MIME.

Note: GitHub Desktop only supports commit signing if your Git client is configured to sign commits by default.

To sign a tag, add -s to your git tag command.

$ git tag -s mytag
# Creates a signed tag

Verify your signed tag by running git tag -v [tag-name].
```
$ git tag -v mytag
# Verifies the signed tag
```
