something like same "tag" for multiple commits

Question

My dilemma: I always want to mark the last reviewed commit so that I can always specify the diff. I let my code to be reviewed only after certain time. How can I remember the last time I had my code reviewed?

My idea was to always tag: "reviewed" the last reviewed commit. However I'd prefer to have the opportunity to tag commits with this as-I-go. Without the need to always delete the tag. +I'd like to remember which diffs I had for reviewing.

So it would be the best if I could tag multiple commits with the same "tag". Unfortunatelly tag is something like an "ID" in DOM. I'd prefer something like "class" in DOM. Is there something like that?

Answer 1

You might want to check git notes.

Answer 2

You can generate a tag based on the current date/time:

$ git tag review-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")

This generates a tag like this:

$ git tag -l
review-2015-04-30_17-20-03

You can also define this as a git alias:

$ git config alias.tag-review '!git tag review-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")'

Now use

$ git tag-review
