how to create annotated tag?

[zhaok...@gmail.com]

I tried to create tag with TortoiseGit rev2.4.0.2 but didn't find a way to create a annotated one...the below is the steps

- select TortoiseGit -> show log

- right click on a commit, and select Create Tag at this revision...

- input Tag Name and click OK (The Track Option is a grey tristate)

Just enter some text into the "Message" textbox additionally to a tag
name and an annotated tag will be created.

Thanks for the help. It looks a little strange for me because the command line option is "-a" for annotated tag and "-m" is for the message. It could be better if there's a checkbox with label "Annotated" or something...

In TortoiseGit you can only create an annotated tag if you sign it or
enter a message.

Btw. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-tag states: "If -m <msg> or -F <file>
is given and -a, -s, and -u <keyid> are absent, -a is implied."

Yes you're correct. But I'm still wondering how to deal with null message, which I can use command line
  git tag -a -m "" ...
