* subed

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed

:END:

subed is an Emacs major mode for editing subtitles while playing the

corresponding media file with [[https://mpv.io/][mpv]]. At the moment, the only supported

formats are:



- SubRip ( ~.srt~)

- WebVTT ( ~.vtt~ )

- Advanced SubStation Alpha ( ~.ass~, experimental )

- Tab-separated values ( ~.tsv~, experimental ) - as exported by

  Audacity for labels. TSVs are not recognized automatically because

  it's a common data format, but you can use ~subed-tsv-mode~ to turn

  it on in a buffer.

** Features

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-features

:END:



- Jump to next (~M-n~) and previous (~M-p~) subtitle text.

- Jump to the beginning (~C-M-a~) and end (~C-M-e~) of the current

  subtitle's text.

- Merge subtitles with ~M-m~ (~subed-merge-dwim~) and split them with

  ~M-.~ (~subed-split-subtitle~). If the media file is playing in MPV,

  use the current playback position. If not, use the relative position

  in the subtitle text, or other functions listed in

  ~subed-split-subtitle-timestamp-functions~.

- Insert subtitles evenly spaced throughout the available space (~M-i~) or

  right next to the current subtitle (~C-M-i~).  A prefix argument controls how

  many subtitles to insert and whether they are inserted before or after the

  current subtitle.

- Kill subtitles (~M-k~).

- Adjust subtitle start (~M-[~ / ~M-]~ or ~C-M-[~ / ~C-M-]~ if Emacs lives in a

  terminal) and stop (~M-{~ / ~M-}~) time.  A prefix argument sets the number of

  milliseconds for the current session (e.g. ~C-u 1000 M-[ M-[ M-[~ decreases

  start time by 3 seconds).

- Move the current subtitle or all marked subtitles

  (~subed-move-subtitles~) forward (~C-M-n~) or backward (~C-M-p~) in

  time without changing subtitle duration.  A prefix argument sets the

  number of milliseconds for the current session (e.g. ~C-u 500 C-M-n

  C-M-n~ moves the current subtitle 1 second forward).

- Shift the current subtitle together with all following subtitles

  using (~subed-shift-subtitles~), or shift them forward (~C-M-f~) or

  backward (~C-M-b~).  This is basically a convenience shortcut for

  ~C-SPC M-> C-M-n/p~.  This is handy for correcting sync delays where

  the subtitles are correctly spaced but are offset from the audio.

- Scale all subtitles or all marked subtitles forward (~C-M-x~) or backward

  (~C-M-S-x~) in time without changing subtitle duration.  A prefix argument

  sets the number of milliseconds for the current session (e.g. ~C-u 500

  C-M-x~ moves the last [or last marked] subtitle forward 500ms and

  proportionally scales all [or all marked] subtitles based on this time

  extension.  Similarly, ~C-u 500 C-M-S-x~ moves the last [or last marked]

  subtitle backward 500ms and proportionally scales all [or all marked]

  subtitles based on this time contraction).  This can be extremely useful to

  correct synchronization issues in existing subtitle files.  First, adjust

  the starting time if necessary (e.g. ~C-M-f~), then adjust the ending and

  scale constituent subtitles (e.g. ~C-M-x~).

- Show CPS (characters per second) for the current subtitle.

- Insert HTML-like tags (~C-c C-t C-t~, with an optional attribute

  when prefixed by ~C-u~), in particular italics (~C-c C-t C-i~) or

  boldface (~C-c C-t C-b~).

- SRT: Sort and re-number subtitles and remove any extra spaces and

  newlines (~M-s~). This is done automatically every time the buffer

  is saved.

- Trim subtitle overlaps with ~M-x subed-trim-overlaps~. By

  default, this adjusts the stop time of overlapping subtitles to

  ~subed-subtitle-spacing~ milliseconds before the next subtitle

  starts. Use ~M-x customize-group~ ~subed~ to configure trimming

  to happen automatically when buffers are loaded or saved, which

  time is adjusted, and how much time to leave between subtitles.

- Convert between formats with ~M-x subed-convert~.

- Show the waveform (~M-x subed-waveform-minor-mode~, off by default)

  extracted from the media file using ~ffmpeg~ with the start/stop

  positions of the current subtitle and the current position in MPV

  marked along with the subtitle.  Change the "volume" of the waveform

  (i.e., the /visible/ amplitude) with ~C-c C--~ and ~C-c C-=~.

  Redisplay the waveform with ~C-c |~.  Left/right-click on the

  waveform to set the start/stop timestamps. If you would like to display the waveform automatically when you open a file, you can add ~(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-waveform-minor-mode)~ to your configuration.  

- Load word timing data (ex: SRV2) using ~M-x

  subed-word-data-load-from-file~. This will be used for splitting

  words at timestamps when available.

- Use ~M-x subed-align~ and [[https://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/][aeneas]] to align your text or subtitles

  with an audio file in order to get timestamps.



*** mpv integration (optional)

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-features-mpv-integration-optional

:END:



Using network sockets to control MPV works on Linux and on Mac OS X,

but not on Microsoft Windows due to the lack of Unix-style sockets. On

Microsoft Windows, you will not be able to synchronize with MPV.



- Automatically open the associated media file in MPV based on the filename, open a media file manually with ~C-c C-v~ (~subed-mpv-play-from-file~), or play media directly from a URL with ~C-c C-u~ (~subed-mpv-play-from-url~) . You can customize the automatic detection of files by changing ~subed-video-extensions~ and ~subed-audio-extensions~.

- Pause and resume playback without leaving Emacs (~M-SPC~).

- Jump to the current subtitle in the MPV player with ~M-j~

  (~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle~). Toggle looping over the

  current subtitle with ~C-c C-l~

  (~subed-toggle-loop-over-current-subtitle~).  Control how many seconds

  to loop before or after the current subtitles by customizing

  ~subed-loop-seconds-before~ and ~subed-loop-seconds-after~.

- Use

  ~C-c .~ (~subed-toggle-sync-point-to-player~) to toggle whether the point should move to the currently playing subtitle.

- Use ~C-c ,~ (~subed-toggle-sync-player-to-point~) to toggle whether mpv should seek to the position of the current subtitle when the point moves between subtitles.

- Subtitles are automatically reloaded in mpv when the buffer is saved.

- Copy the current playback position as start (~C-c [~) or stop (~C-c ]~)

  time of the current subtitle.

- Playback is paused or slowed down when a subtitle's text is edited (~C-c

  C-p~, ~subed-toggle-pause-while-typing~).

- Loop over the current subtitle in mpv (~C-c C-l~).

- When a subtitle's start or stop time changes, mpv seeks to the subtitle's

  start time (~C-c C-r~, ~subed-toggle-replay-adjusted-subtitle~).

- Move one frame forward or backward (~C-c C-f .~ and ~C-c C-f ,~;

  pressing ~,~ or ~.~ afterwards moves by frames until any other

  key is pressed).



** Installation

:END:

*** Installing the subed package from NonGNU Elpa

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-installation-installing-the-subed-package-from-nongnu-elpa

:END:

~subed~ is now on [[https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/subed.html][NonGNU ELPA]].  On Emacs 28 and later, you can install it with ~M-x package-install~ ~subed~.



To install it on Emacs 27 or earlier, add the following to your Emacs configuration file:



#+begin_src emacs-lisp :eval no

(with-eval-after-load 'package (add-to-list 'package-archives '("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/")))

#+end_src



Use ~M-x eval-buffer~ to run the code, use ~M-x package-refresh-contents~ to load the package archives, and then use ~M-x package-install~ ~subed~.



Sample configuration:



#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(with-eval-after-load 'subed-mode

	;; Remember cursor position between sessions

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'save-place-local-mode)

	;; Break lines automatically while typing

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

	;; Break lines at 40 characters

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook (lambda () (setq-local fill-column 40)))

	;; Some reasonable defaults

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-pause-while-typing)

	;; As the player moves, update the point to show the current subtitle

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-sync-point-to-player)

	;; As your point moves in Emacs, update the player to start at the current subtitle

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-sync-player-to-point)

	;; Replay subtitles as you adjust their start or stop time with M-[, M-], M-{, or M-}

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-replay-adjusted-subtitle)

	;; Loop over subtitles

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-loop-over-current-subtitle)

	;; Show characters per second

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-show-cps))

#+end_src



*** Manual installation

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-installation-manual-installation

:END:



If that doesn't work, you can install it manually. To install from the main branch:



#+begin_src sh :eval no

git clone https://github.com/sachac/subed.git

#+end_src



This will create a =subed= directory with the code.



If you have the =make= utility, you can regenerate the autoload definitions with



#+begin_src sh :eval no

make autoloads

#+end_src



If you don't have =make= installed, you can generate the autoloads

with:



#+begin_src sh :eval no

emacs --quick --batch --eval "(progn (setq generated-autoload-file (expand-file-name \"subed-autoloads.el\" \"subed\") backup-inhibited t) \

	(update-directory-autoloads \"./subed\"))"

#+end_src



Then you can add

the following to your Emacs configuration (typically

=~/.config/emacs/init.el=, =~/.emacs.d/init.el=, or =~/.emacs=; you

can create this file if it doesn't exist yet). Here's a configuration example:



#+begin_src emacs-lisp

;; Note the reference to the subed subdirectory, instead of the one at the root of the checkout

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/subed/subed")

(require 'subed-autoloads)



(with-eval-after-load 'subed-mode

	;; Remember cursor position between sessions

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'save-place-local-mode)

	;; Break lines automatically while typing

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

	;; Break lines at 40 characters

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook (lambda () (setq-local fill-column 40)))

	;; Some reasonable defaults

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-pause-while-typing)

	;; As the player moves, update the point to show the current subtitle

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-sync-point-to-player)

	;; As your point moves in Emacs, update the player to start at the current subtitle

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-sync-player-to-point)

	;; Replay subtitles as you adjust their start or stop time with M-[, M-], M-{, or M-}

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-replay-adjusted-subtitle)

	;; Loop over subtitles

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-loop-over-current-subtitle)

	;; Show characters per second

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'subed-enable-show-cps))

#+end_src



You can reload your configuration with =M-x eval-buffer= or restart Emacs.



If you want to try a branch (ex: =derived-mode=), you can use the

following command inside the =subed= directory:



#+begin_src sh :eval no

git checkout branchname

#+end_src

*** use-package configuration

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-installation-use-package-configuration

:END:



Here's an example setup if you use [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package][use-package]]:



#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(use-package subed

	:ensure t

	:config

	;; Remember cursor position between sessions

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'save-place-local-mode)

	;; Break lines automatically while typing

	(add-hook 'subed-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

*** straight configuration

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-installation-straight-configuration

:END:



If you use [[https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el][straight.el]], you can install subed with the following recipe:



#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(straight-use-package '(subed :type git :host github :repo "sachac/subed" :files ("subed/*.el")))

#+end_src



** Getting started

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-getting-started

:END:



~C-h f subed-mode~ should get you started. This is the parent mode for

~subed-srt-mode~, ~subed-vtt-mode~, and ~subed-ass-mode~. When

manually loading a mode, use those specific format modes instead of

~subed-mode~.

** Some workflow ideas

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas

:END:

*** Editing subtitles

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-editing-subtitles

:END:



You can use ~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle~ (~M-j~) to play the current

subtitle and use ~subed-mpv-toggle-pause~ (~M-SPC~) to stop at the right time.

Use ~subed-toggle-loop-over-current-subtitle~ (~C-c C-l~) if you want to keep

looping automatically.



If you have wdiff installed, you can use

~subed-wdiff-subtitle-text-with-file~ to compare the subtitle text

with a script or another subtitle file.



*** Writing subtitles from scratch

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-writing-subtitles-from-scratch

:END:



One way is to start with one big subtitle that covers the whole media

file. You can create this manually by using the media file duration or a very large ending timestamp (ex: 24:00:000), or you can use ~M-x subed-insert-subtitle-for-whole-file~.

Use ~C-c C-p~ (~subed-toggle-pause-while-typing~) to enable pausing while typing. Start playback with ~M-SPC~ (~subed-mpv-toggle-pause~), type as you listen, and split using using ~subed-split-subtitle~ (~M-.~).



Another way is to type as much of the text as you can without worrying

about timestamps, putting each caption on a separate line. Then you

can use ~subed-align~ to convert it into timestamped captions.



*** Starting from auto-generated YouTube captions

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-starting-from-auto-generated-youtube-captions

:END:



To download autogenerated captions for one of the

videos you've uploaded to YouTube:



1. Go to https://studio.youtube.com

2. Click on Content in the left-side menu, find your video, and edit it. Clicok on Subtitles in the left menu. If automatic subtitles are available, you will see them in the Subtitles column in the middle.

   - If you don't see automatic subtitles, set

     your video's language in the Details tab,

     wait a while, and check again.

3. Hover over the "Published" label and use the

   three-dot menu to download the SRT. (The VTT

   file has a lot of extra mark-up.)

4. Open the SRT file. subed can synchronize

   playback as you edit the subtitle file. If the

   media has the same base filename as the

   subtitle file, it will be opened automatically.

   If not, use ~subed-mpv-play-from-file~ (~C-c

   C-v~) or ~subed-mpv-play-from-url~ (~C-c C-u~).



You may want to use ~M-x subed-trim-overlaps~ to remove the overlaps between subtitles.



If you download the VTT from YouTube, you can load

the word timing data from it with ~M-x

subed-word-data-load-from-file~. Then those times

will be used when splitting subtitles with

~subed-split-subtitle~..



If you want to work in the VTT format so you can

use comments, convert the SRT with ~M-x

subed-convert~.



To upload edited subtitles:



1. Edit your video's details. Click on Subtitles on the right side.

2. Click on the three-dot menu.

3. Click on "Upload file", choose "With timing", and click on "Continue".

4. Select your file.



*** Reflowing subtitles into shorter or longer lines

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-reflowing-subtitles-into-shorter-or-longer-lines

:END:



You may want to use ~set-fill-column~ and

~display-fill-column-indicator-mode~ to show the target number of

characters.



Use ~subed-split-subtitle~ (~M-.~), ~subed-merge-dwim~ (~M-b~), and

~subed-merge-with-previous~ (~M-M~) to split lines.



Splitting will use the current MPV position if available. If not, it

will guess where to split based on the the number of characters in the

subtitle. You can use ~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle~ (~M-j~) to play the

current subtitle manually and use ~subed-mpv-toggle-pause~ (~M-SPC~) to stop at

the right time. Use ~subed-toggle-loop-over-current-subtitle~ (~C-c C-l~) if you

want to keep looping. ~subed-waveform-show-current~ can help you

fine-tune the split.



*** Adjusting timestamps

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-adjusting-timestamps

:END:



You can use ~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle~ (~M-j~) to play the

current subtitle manually. Use

~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle-near-end~ (~M-J~) to jump to near

the end of the subtitle in order to test it. Use

~subed-toggle-loop-over-current-subtitle~ (~C-c C-l~) if you want to

keep looping automatically. Use ~subed-mpv-toggle-pause~ (~M-SPC~) to stop at the

right time.



You can also manually adjust



- subtitle start: ~M-[~  / ~M-]~

- subtitle stop: (~M-{~ / ~M-}~)



A prefix argument sets the number of milliseconds (e.g. ~C-u 1000 M-[ M-[ M-[~ decreases start time by 3 seconds).



Rodrigo Morales also has some functions for [[https://rodrigo.morales.pe/2024/11/17/my-subed-configuration-for-adding-subtitles-to-emacsconf-2024/][playing part of the subtitles and changing them by a little bit]].



You can shift subtitles to start at a specific

timestamp with

~subed-shift-subtitles-to-start-at-timestamp~ . To

use a millisecond offset instead, use

~subed-shift-subtitles~.



**** Waveforms

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-adjusting-timestamps-waveforms

:END:



Use ~subed-waveform-show-current~ or ~subed-waveform-show-all~ together with FFmpeg

to display waveforms for subtitles.



Use ~subed-waveform-set-start~ (~mouse-1~, which

is left click) or ~subed-waveform-set-stop~

(~mouse-3~, which is right-click) to adjust only

the current subtitle's timestamps, or use

~subed-waveform-set-start-and-copy-to-previous~

(~S-mouse-1~ or ~M-mouse-1~) or

~subed-waveform-set-stop-and-copy-to-next~

(~S-mouse-3~ or ~M-mouse-3~) to adjust adjacent

subtitles as well.



You can use ~M-mouse-2~ (Meta-middle-click, ~subed-waveform-shift-subtitles~) to shift the current subtitle and succeeding subtitles so that they start at the position you clicked on.



**** A transient map for retiming subtitles

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-adjusting-timestamps-a-transient-map-for-retiming-subtitles

:END:



You can use ~subed-retime-subtitles~ to set new

times for subtitles by pressing ~SPC~ when the

current subtitle should stop. It will start with

the current subtitle and then continue until you

press a key that is not in the temporary keymap.



Keys:



| ~SPC~                   | set stop and move forward |

| ~~ or ~j~         | replay current subtitle   |

| ~~ or ~n~ or ~f~ | next                      |

| ~b~                     | back                      |

| ~p~                     | pause                     |



**** Aeneas forced alignment tool

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-adjusting-timestamps-aeneas-forced-alignment-tool

:END:



The [[https://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/][aeneas forced alignment tool]] (Python) can take

a media file and a text file (one cue per line) or

subtitle file, and create a subtitle file with the

timings determined by matching synthesized speech

with the waveforms.



To use Aeneas to re-time subtitles or text, install

Aeneas and its prerequisites, then call ~M-x

subed-align~ to align the entire buffer.



You can also select a region and then use ~M-x

subed-align-region~ to recalculate the timestamps

for just that region. One way to use this is:



1. Determine the last correctly-timed subtitle. We'll call this subtitle A. Go to the beginning of subtitle A and use ~C-SPC~ (~set-mark-command~) to set the mark.

2. Pick a subtitle in the incorrectly-timed section. We'll call this subtitle B. Use ~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle~ to seek to that position. Play it and listen for the words. If you can't figure out which subtitle matches the position currently being played, choose a different subtitle starting point B until you find one that's recognizable.

3. Reset the playback position by using ~subed-mpv-jump-to-current-subtitle~ on subtitle B.

4. Now look for the subtitle that matches the words you heard at the playback position for subtitle B. We'll call that one subtitle D.

5. Go to the subtitle before subtitle D. We'll call that subtitle C. Use ~C-c ]~ (~subed-copy-player-pos-to-stop-time~) to set the stop time of subtitle C (the one immediately before D) to the playback position, which is the same time as the incorrect starting time for subtitle B.

6. Go to the end of subtitle C.

7. Use ~M-x subed-align-region~ to recalculate the timestamps within that section.



Aeneas tends to have trouble with subtitle times

where there are long silences, background noises,

inaccurate transcripts (especially where the

speaker has skipped or added many words),

overlapping speakers, and non-English languages.

It may take several tries to figure out a span of

subtitles where Aeneas is more accurate.

Doublechecking with the word timing data can help

quickly verify if the subtitle times are

reasonable.



**** Word timing data

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-adjusting-timestamps-word-timing-data

:END:



To use word timing data from something like

WhisperX, load subed-word-data.el and then use

~subed-word-data-load-from-file~. The word times

will then be used when you split subtitles with

~subed-split-subtitle~.



*** Exporting text for review

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-some-workflow-ideas-exporting-text-for-review

:END:



You can use ~subed-copy-region-text~ to copy the text of the subtitles

for pasting into another buffer. Call it with the universal prefix

~C-u~ to copy comments as well.



You can also use ~subed-convert~ to convert subtitles to a text file.



** Troubleshooting

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-troubleshooting

:END:

*** subed-mpv: Service name too long

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-troubleshooting-subed-mpv-service-name-too-long

:END:



If =subed-mpv-client= reports =(error "Service name too long")=, this

is probably because the path to the socket used to communicate with

MPV is too long for your operating system. You can use =M-x customize=

to set =subed-mpv-socket-dir= to a shorter path.



** Important change in v1.0.0

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-important-change-in-v1-0-0

:END:



~subed~ now uses ~subed-srt-mode~, ~subed-vtt-mode~, and

~subed-ass-mode~ instead of directly using ~subed-mode~. These modes

should be automatically associated with the ~.vtt~, ~.srt~, and ~.ass~

extensions. If the generic ~subed-mode~ is loaded instead of the format-specific mode,

you may get an error such as:



#+begin_example

Error in post-command-hook (subed--post-command-handler): (cl-no-applicable-method subed--subtitle-id)

#+end_example



If you set ~auto-mode-alist~ manually in your config, please make sure

you associate extensions the appropriate format-specific mode instead

of ~subed-mode~. The specific backend functions (ex:

~subed-srt--jump-to-subtitle-id~) are also deprecated in favor of

using generic functions such as ~subed-jump-to-subtitle-id~.



** Testing

:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: subed-testing

:END:



You'll need to install the =buttercup= and =package-lint= Emacs packages. You'll also need =GNU Make= so that you can work with Makefiles. To run the tests, use the command =make test=.



To re-run tests automatically when files change, something like nodemon might be helpful.



#+begin_src sh :eval no

nodemon -w tests/*.el -w subed/*.el -x "make test"

#+end_src

Here's a post-commit hook that will make it easier to remember to tag releases:



#+begin_src python :eval no

#!/usr/bin/python



# place in .git/hooks/post-commit

# Based on https://gist.github.com/ajmirsky/1245103



import subprocess

import re



print("checking for version change...",)



output = subprocess.check_output(['git', 'diff', 'HEAD^', 'HEAD', '-U0']).decode("utf-8")



version_info = None

for d in output.split("\n"):

    rg = re.compile(r'\+(?:;;\s+)?Version:\s+(?P[0-9]+)\.(?P[0-9]+)\.(?P[0-9]+)')

    m = rg.search(d)

    if m:

        version_info = m.groupdict()

        break



if version_info:

    tag = "v%s.%s.%s" % (version_info['major'], version_info['minor'], version_info['rev'])

    existing = subprocess.check_output(['git', 'tag']).decode("utf-8").split("\n")

    if tag in existing:

        print("%s is already tagged, not updating" % tag)

    else:

        result = subprocess.run(['git', 'tag', '-f', tag])

        if result.returncode:

            raise Exception('tagging not successful: %s %s' % (result.stdout, result.returncode))

        print("tagged revision: %s" % tag)

else:

    print("none found.")
