+## Tags
+
+Arctic Ice Studio follows the [gitflow][gitflow] branching model with the deviations and additional conventions described below using the [Arctic Versioning Specification][arcver].
+
+All version tags are created in the `master` [core branch](#core-branches) to specify which commits reflects a release version as defined by the `release` [branch name](#branch-naming) prefix.
+
+* **Only use annotated tags**. Allows to include the name of the project followed by the version number to the commit message.
+* **Always add the `v` prefix character to version tags**. Clarifies the tag type as specified by ArcVer.
+* **Every version tag must be signed**. Ensures that the version has been tested and approved by the project owner or an authorized project contributor.
