# create

The cldkctl registry tag create command creates a new tag immutability rule in the container registry. This rule helps prevent specific tags from being overwritten or deleted, protecting critical container images from accidental modification. It is commonly used to enforce image version stability.

## Usage

```
cldkctl registry tag create [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Ensure that you are logged in. Refer to the Registry Login section.
2. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
cldkctl --registry [registry name] registry tag create \
  --repo [repository name] \
  --repo-op [matching|excluding] \
  --tag [tag pattern] \
  --tag-op [matching|excluding]
```

3. To get the list of available registries, refer to the Registry List section.
4. To get the list of available repositories, refer to the Registry Repo List section.
5. Replace `[registry name`] with the target registry, \[repository name] with the repository name you want to protect, `[tag pattern]` with the tag pattern to include or exclude, and `[repo-op] / [tag-op]` with the operation mode (matching or excluding).
6. Once successful, the terminal displays **"✓ Registry tag immutability rule created".**
