DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
This command allows you to add/remove notes to/from objects, without
|
|
|
|
|
changing the objects themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A typical use of notes is to extend a commit message without having
|
|
|
|
|
to change the commit itself. Such commit notes can be shown by `git log`
|
|
|
|
|
along with the original commit message. To discern these notes from the
|
|
|
|
|
message stored in the commit object, the notes are indented like the
|
|
|
|
|
message, after an unindented line saying "Notes:".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To disable notes, you have to set the config variable core.notesRef to
|
|
|
|
|
the empty string. Alternatively, you can set it to a different ref,
|
|
|
|
|
something like "refs/notes/bugzilla". This setting can be overridden
|
|
|
|
|
by the environment variable "GIT_NOTES_REF".
|
|
|

SUBCOMMANDS
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
list::
|
|
|
|
|
List the notes object for a given object. If no object is
|
|
|
|
|
given, show a list of all note objects and the objects they
|
|
|
|
|
annotate (in the format "<note object> <annotated object>").
|
|
|
|
|
This is the default subcommand if no subcommand is given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
add::
|
|
|
|
|
Add notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD). Abort if the
|
|
|
|
|
object already has notes, abort. (use `-f` to overwrite an
|
|
|
|
|
existing note).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
append::
|
|
|
|
|
Append to the notes of an existing object (defaults to HEAD).
|
|
|
|
|
Creates a new notes object if needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
edit::
|
|
|
|
|
Edit the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
show::
|
|
|
|
|
Show the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remove::
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
|
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to specifying an empty note message to
|
|
|
|
|
the `edit` subcommand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prune::
|
|
|
|
|
Remove all notes for non-existing/unreachable objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
|
|
|
--force::
|
|
|
|
|
When adding notes to an object that already has notes,
|
|
|
|
|
overwrite the existing notes (instead of aborting).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-m <msg>::
|
|
|
|
|
--message=<msg>::
|
|
|
|
|
Use the given note message (instead of prompting).
|
|
|
|
|
If multiple `-m` options are given, their values
|
|
|
|
|
are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-F <file>::
|
|
|
|
|
--file=<file>::
|
|
|
|
|
Take the note message from the given file. Use '-' to
|
|
|
|
|
read the note message from the standard input.
