Also see the git-notes(1) manpage.

T     (magit-notes)

This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands along with the appropriate infix arguments and displays them in a temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.

T T     (magit-notes-edit)

Edit the note attached to a commit, defaulting to the commit at point.

By default use the value of Git variable core.notesRef or "refs/notes/commits" if that is undefined.

T r     (magit-notes-remove)

Remove the note attached to a commit, defaulting to the commit at point.

By default use the value of Git variable core.notesRef or "refs/notes/commits" if that is undefined.

T p     (magit-notes-prune)

Remove notes about unreachable commits.

It is possible to merge one note ref into another. That may result in conflicts which have to resolved in the temporary worktree ".git/NOTES_MERGE**_WORKTREE".

T m     (magit-notes-merge)

Merge the notes of a ref read from the user into the current notes ref. The current notes ref is the value of Git variable core.notesRef or "refs/notes/commits" if that is undefined.

When a notes merge is in progress then the transient features the following suffix commands, instead of those listed above.

T c     (magit-notes-merge-commit)

Commit the current notes ref merge, after manually resolving conflicts.

T a     (magit-notes-merge-abort)

Abort the current notes ref merge.

The following variables control what notes reference magit-notes-*, git notes and git show act on and display. Both the local and global values are displayed and can be modified.

variable core.notesRef

This variable specifies the notes ref that is displayed by default and which commands act on by default.

variable notes.displayRef

This variable specifies additional notes ref to be displayed in addition to the ref specified by core.notesRef. It can have multiple values and may end with * to display all refs in the refs/notes/ namespace (or ** if some names contain slashes).
