#Git notes

**Warning** : Support for isplay of git notes has been dropped by github : https://github.com/blog/707-git-notes-display

Resource : https://vimeo.com/34273537

##Add

```
git notes add
git notes add -m "my note"
```

##Namespacing

Default namespace is `commits`

Use `git notes --ref COMMAND`

Examples:

```
git notes --ref jenkins add "build pass"
git notes --ref jenkins show HEAD
git log --show-notes=jenkins
git log --show-notes="*"
```

`--show-notes="*"` : Quotes are necessary so that `*` will be passed to git, not evalueted by the command line

##Push

Like tags, notes aren't pushed by default.

```
git push origin refs/notes/commits
git push origin "refs/notes/*"
```

##Fetch

Notes aren't fetched by default.

```
git fetch origin refs/notes/commits:refs/notes/commits
git fetch origin "refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*"
```

To fetch notes by default : `vi .git/config`

```
#edit this part

[remote "origin"]
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

#to become

[remote "origin"]
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
  fetch = +refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*
```
