Notes stow metadata about anything tracked by git—any object: commits, blobs, and trees.

The git project itself offers an example of git notes in the wild. They link each commit to its discussion on their mailing list.

Other folks are using notes for things like:

Tracking time spent per commit or branch

Adding review and testing information to git log

And even fully distributed code review

Review notes are used by Gerrit (Wikimedia) and many google projects. For example:

commit d1d17908d2a97f057887a4afbd99f6c40be56849
Author: User <user@example.com>
Date:   Sun Mar 27 18:10:51 2022 +0200

    Branch: refs/heads/master

There is also an extension from Google to git notes dedicated to code review: https://github.com/google/git-appraise. Request review, comment and review and merge are included.

Its authors have declared it a “fully distributed code review”—independent of GitHub, GitLab, or any other code forge.

Git notes are however a pain to use. Mhmhmhm #idea #project on top of the git note commands?

For commits, you can make viewing and adding notes easier using fancy options in your gitconfig3. But for storing notes about blobs or trees? Forget it. You’d need to be comfortable rooting around in git’s plumbing first.

Much of the value of git repos ends up locked into forges, like GitHub. Git notes are a path toward an alternative and it could make it possible to distribute the history of an entire project.

Fintech is a scam. — Joan Westenberg

It's because after objectively examining the incentives and outcomes, fintech as an industry categorically fails to deliver meaningful progress to consumers. [...] It's about our obligations to each other and our duty to leave the world more equitable than we found it. Fintech, in its current form, categorically fails that duty.
