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

我想在这些之间轻松切换，如下：

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)

我怎么能在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

您可以找到similar example in this gist。
