git notes is an interesting feature, you can use it like
git notes add -m "hello test git notes"
git push origin 'refs/notes/*'
Github supported them back in 2010 then gave up LMAO.
If you need to retrive them with Github API, try GraphQL like this
{
repository(owner: "est", name: "snippets") {
refs(refPrefix:"refs/notes/",first:1) {
nodes{
... on Ref{
target {
oid
... on Commit{
changedFilesIfAvailable
message
tree{
oid
entries{
oid
path
size
lineCount
mode
object{
... on Blob{
byteSize
text
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
It will return something like:
{
"data": {
"repository": {
"refs": {
"nodes": [
{
"target": {
"oid": "bfdfda121f3d8a2d6aa399e3e8f0d58b3db0a543",
"changedFilesIfAvailable": 1,
"message": "Notes added by 'git notes add'",
"tree": {
"oid": "2ab3e6a8b0dff6596fa60ecfb3c61bf91e5b4e1f",
"entries": [
{
"oid": "404d353a254ffbc97b2e16d17b8c100461aef586",
"path": "4fb1272f1e235580f87e3ec071984658de050dc9",
"size": 21,
"lineCount": 1,
"mode": 33188,
"object": {
"byteSize": 21,
"text": "hello test git notes\n"
}
}
]
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
Here "path": "4fb1272f1e235580f87e3ec071984658de050dc9"
is the commit SHA.
If you add more filter parameters in refs()
you can fetch all the notes.
