git-jot(1)
Bash script to emulate branch notes, useful for branching workflows. These branch-local notes (jottings):
- persist across commits, merges, and rebases;
- can be shared and stored on remotes;
- inherit all note capabilities (e.g. history).
Installation
From the AUR, or with Homebrew:
brew install mtth/tap/git-jot
Otherwise install it manually by copying git-jot.sh as git-jot somewhere in
your $PATH, then making it executable.
Usage
$ git jot # Open an editor to add notes to the current branch $ # Do some work, add some commits, rebase, etc... $ git jot # View and edit the existing branch note $ git switch other-branch $ git jot # Edit a different branch note $ git switch original-branch $ git jot -V # View the original branch's note $ git jot -X # Push the branch's note to its default remote
See the manpage for all options and more information.
