[solved] sha256sum of a github tag

pkgname=tutanota-desktop
pkgver=317.251217.0
source=("git+https://github.com/tutao/tutanota.git#tag=$pkgname-release-$pkgver")
sha256sums=('2363a074766404d847dd758345ef4defd692fe2d8281186c33c8a51d75e5c529')

    Above is an excerpt of a PKGBUILD.
    I have two related questions: how can I calculate the sha256sum of a github tag in order to insert it in a PKGBUILD; and how does makepkg calculate it?
   
    I guess there is a plain and obvious answer somewhere but it is not occurring to me!

You can use `makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD` or `updpkgsums` (from pacman-contrib) to generate the checksums.

Thanks a lot for that.
