For “-t, –tag” flag: invalid reference format

The error message “for “-t, –tag” flag: invalid reference format” suggests that there is an issue with the format of the reference provided for the “-t” or “–tag” flag in the command.

The reference format should meet certain requirements in order for it to be considered valid. The exact requirements and format can vary depending on the context and the command being executed. To diagnose and resolve this issue, consider the following guidelines:

1. Check the command documentation or help manual to understand the expected format for the reference.
2. Ensure that the reference is correctly specified and follows the required format.
3. Double-check for any syntax errors or typos in the reference.

Here’s an example to illustrate the potential causes of the error and the corresponding solutions:

    
      $ command --tag=example          // incorrect format
      Error: for "-t, --tag" flag: invalid reference format
      
      $ command --tag=example.jpg      // incorrect reference
      Error: for "-t, --tag" flag: invalid reference format
      
      $ command --tag=example123        // correct format, assuming numeric reference is valid
      // command executes successfully with the provided reference
    
  

In the example above, the first two commands result in the “invalid reference format” error because they do not adhere to the required format specified by the command. The third command, however, uses a valid reference format and executes without any issues.

To resolve the error, make sure to review the specific command’s documentation and ensure that the reference provided for the “-t” or “–tag” flag meets the required format.
