git-notes: Show the notes attached to a given object (defaults to HEAD).
$ git notes show [${object}]
try on your machine

The "git notes show" command is used to display the notes attached to a specific Git object. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "git notes show" is the main command that instructs Git to show the notes.
  • [${object}] is a placeholder for the object you want to retrieve the notes for. The object can be a commit, a tree, a blob, or a tag.The [${object}] is usually replaced with the SHA-1 hash of the object.

For example, if you want to see the notes attached to a commit with the SHA-1 hash "a1b2c3", you would use the following command:

git notes show a1b2c3

Git will then display the content of the notes attached to that commit object. Notes are intended to provide additional information or annotations about a specific commit or object.
