[git-users] Re: Feature Request - Branch Metadata or Descriptions

2022-07-18 Thread Dan Rosen
Is there no board of directors to discuss improvements to Git? Modern common practice organizes branches with slashes "/'. "feature/new-feature, bug/bug-fix, etc" but this is a limited way to add meta data to a branch. Tags can have annotations so why can't branches? Why not have a way to say t

I believe this has been discussed a few times. However branches are meant to be local and ephemeral, which goes against that 'organise' view that, in a sense, sees branches as tasks to be controlled. Git, being distributed, looks to the code content, along with the DAG, to get it's perspective

> Still, implementing such mode is impossible in `git reset --hard` because it's being extensively used in scripts which must continue working unmodified. I'm more upbeat about the possibilities here for a multi-graded option for capturing the user's prior tree, with it's user modified version

[git-users] Feature Request - Branch Metadata or Descriptions

2022-07-18 Thread Dan Rosen
Adding metadata to branches would be helpful for third party APIs to organize and tag branches without putting them in the branch name. For example, project management software will use an issue key to search the branch name but it would be better to search branch metadata. I know branches have

A tale born through some hot tears at work... I had made a *temporary commit* on feature branch *A*, that I wanted to put directly in the *master *(main) branch, as it was not related to the feature. However, I had a lot of unstaged changes (read: 10+ hours of work) that I didn't want to stash
