Subject: Feature request: Ability to edit existing tag's message
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 17:05:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <04cbce68-bcbd-dbb2-5d9d-df7dd464fa03@gmx.com> (raw)
At the moment, one has to go through some hoops to edit a tag's message;
see discussions here:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/7813194/1593077
It would be nice if:
git tag --edit my_tag_name
would bring up the editor with the existing text of my_tag_name's
message, for amendment. And, perhaps,
git tag --edit my_tag_name -m "new message"
would overwrite the existing message. I've suggested `--edit` since the
switch already exists, but if you like a different bikeshed then it
could be --amend like git commit --amend.
Just my 2 cents and have a nice day,
Eyal Rozenberg
