Adding Meta Information to Git Branches

• throwanem 10y ago
  Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the .git/config file local to a given working copy? The helper scripts are neat and all, but I don't see anything here that would actually propagate this metadata anywhere.

    Yes, it's local-only. This would seem to have a very limited use case. Even then, you could always just maintain different local/remote branch names and not need the scripts (git push <remote-repo> <local-branch>:<remote-branch> - and of course, you can set that as default).

  What about git-notes? https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

  This person has obviously no intention of sharing the data with others, and hasn't heard of Git Notes support either. http://alblue.bandlem.com/2011/11/git-tip-of-week-git-notes.html http://alblue.bandlem.com/2011/11/git-tip-of-week-git-notes....
