为 Git 分支名称创建别名

Question

假设我在 git 中有以下分支：

• master
• release-2014-11-02-some-long-text

我想轻松地在这些之间切换，如下所示：

git checkout devel # checkout to master
git checkout release # checkout to the branch release currently points/aliases to, in this case:  release-2014-11-02-some-long-text (I would like to change this alias from time to time)

如何在 Git 中做到这一点？

Answer 1

您可以尝试使用git symbolic-ref（如“Is it possible to alias a branch in Git?”中所述）：

git symbolic-ref refs/heads/devel   refs/heads/master
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/release refs/heads/release-2014-11-02-some-long-text
