NAME
----
git-notes - Add/inspect commit notes

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git notes' (edit [-F <file> | -m <msg>] | show | remove) [commit]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command allows you to add/remove notes to/from 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).

remove::
	Remove the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
	This is equivalent to specifying an empty note message to
	the `edit` subcommand.


OPTIONS
-------
-m <msg>::
	Use the given note message (instead of prompting).
	If multiple `-m` options are given, their values
	are concatenated as separate paragraphs.

-F <file>::
	Take the note message from the given file.  Use '-' to
	read the note message from the standard input.
