notes

SKILL.md

Git notes attach metadata to commits (or any Git object) without modifying the objects themselves. Notes are stored separately and displayed alongside commit messages.

Core principle: Add information to commits after creation without rewriting history.

| Notes ref | Storage location, default refs/notes/commits | | Non-invasive | Notes never modify SHA of original object | | Namespaces | Use --ref for different note categories | | Display | Notes appear in git log and git show output |

Use when adding metadata to commits without changing history, tracking review status, test results, code quality annotations, or supplementing commit messages post-hoc - provides git notes commands and patterns for attaching non-invasive metadata to Git objects.
