GIT-NOTES(1)                      Git Manual                      GIT-NOTES(1)



NAME
       git-notes - Add/inspect commit notes

SYNOPSIS
       git notes (edit [-F  | -m ] | show) [commit]


DESCRIPTION
       This command allows you to add notes to commit messages, without
       changing the commit. 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 commit 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
       edit
           Edit the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).

       show
           Show the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).

OPTIONS
       -m 
           Use the given note message (instead of prompting). If multiple -m
           (or -F) options are given, their values are concatenated as
           separate paragraphs.

       -F 
           Take the note message from the given file. Use - to read the note
           message from the standard input. If multiple -F (or -m) options are
           given, their values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
