function New-GitTag{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new tag in a Git repository.
     
    .DESCRIPTION
    The `New-GitTag` function creates a tag in a Git repository.
     
    A tag is a name that references/points to a specific commit in the repository. By default, the tag points to the commit checked out in the working directory. To point to a specific commit, pass the commit ID to the `Target` parameter.
 
    If the tag already exists, this function will fail. If you want to update an existing tag to point to a different commit, use the `Force` switch.
 
    This function implements the `git tag <tagname> <target>` command.
     
    .EXAMPLE
    New-GitTag -Name 'BranchBaseline'
     
    Creates a new tag, `BranchBaseline`, for the HEAD of the current directory.
     
    .EXAMPLE
    New-GitTag -Name 'BranchBaseline' -Target 'branch'
     
    Demonstrates how to create a tag pointing to the head of a branch.
     
    .EXAMPLE
    New-GitTag -Name 'BranchBaseline' -Force
     
    Demonstrates how to change the target a tag points to, to the current HEAD.
