git-notes: Copy a note from one object to another.
$ git notes copy ${source_object} ${target_object}
try on your machine

The "git notes copy" command is used to copy notes from one object to another in Git. Here is an explanation of the command syntax:

  • "git notes copy": This is the main command that instructs Git to copy notes.
  • "${source_object}": This is the identifier of the source object from which the notes will be copied. It can be a commit hash, a branch name, a tag name, or any other valid Git reference.
  • "${target_object}": This is the identifier of the target object where the notes will be copied to. It can also be a commit hash, branch name, tag name, etc.

Essentially, this command allows you to copy the notes (additional information) attached to one object to another object. For example, if you have added some notes to a specific commit, you can use this command to copy those notes and attach them to another commit, branch, or tag.

Note that Git notes are an advanced feature that allows you to annotate existing objects with additional information without modifying the original object. These notes can be used to store metadata, comments, or any other information about the objects in the Git repository.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
