Code discussions contain relevant information. Isn’t it a shame that we keep these in the centralized GitHub/GitLab servers, far away from our decentralized Git code? As soon as we move provider, we’ll lose all old discussions! And how do you ever find the pull requests back from 5 years ago? Symfony has implemented a lightweight solution to this problem years ago using a less-known feature of Git: Git Notes.

    Interesting idea to store github comments inside git, the article just isn’t very clear to me on how to actually do it.

    He’s talking about using an “internal CLI tool” so I guess it’s not a public tool?

    But anyways, this kinda sounds like something you could do though a Github Action right? Like if a PR is merged, run an action that also appends PR comments or other meta-data from github into git
