$ git notes edit [${object}]

try on your machine

The git notes edit [${object}] command is used in Git to open and edit the notes associated with a specific object.

In Git, notes allow you to attach additional information or annotations to a specific commit object. These notes are stored separately and are often used to provide additional context or explanation about a commit.

The ${object} parameter in the command represents the object to which you want to attach or edit notes. This object can be represented by a commit hash, branch name, tag name, or any other Git reference that points to a commit.

When you run git notes edit [${object}], Git will open a text editor where you can modify the notes associated with the specified object. You can add, remove, or modify the content as needed. Once you save and close the text editor, Git will update the notes for the selected object accordingly.
