Support branch descriptions #19
Open
Description
One often names branches after issue numbers or something else, which is a good practice for long-term reference, but doesn't help one pick apart which branch is about what at-a-glance.
Proposal:
- Make
start
take an extra optional description arg:git wf start <branch-name> [description]
- Store it in
.git/config
by calling:git config branch.<branch-name>.description <description>
- Display it at various times when it would currently only print the branch name.
- Offer something like
git wf branch
that is an enhanced version ofgit branch
- maybe only lists wf-managed feature branches and includes their descriptions?
Note that this is the "standard" place to store a branch description in git; it's the one that git branch --edit-description
operates on. Currently it's not used for a lot inside of git itself, but maybe that will change?
