Hello,

I'd like to know if that's possible to parse all notes to detect a special string and if it's the case, remove the note like "git-notes remove" would do.

Thanks

Hi,

There's no built-in command/option to do this, but the following shell one-liner should do the job:

  git grep -l $mystring refs/notes/commits | cut -d':' -f2 | tr -d '/'
| xargs git notes remove

Looks "magic" to me but does the trick

Thanks !
