 you can set it to: `git commit -a -m \"gx publish $VERSION\"` and gx will
 replace `$VERSION` with the newly changed version before executing the git
 commit.
+In addition to commiting, it will also publish a git tag, using the default command
+`git tag -a "v$VERSION" -m "gx release published as $HASH"`. To change the command you can set
+the `tagCmd` field to a command of your choosing.
 
 ### Ignoring files from a publish
 You can use a `.gxignore` file to make gx ignore certain files during a publish.
