创建别名的Git分支名称

Question

假设我有混帐如下分支：

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

我想很容易的切换之间，像这样：

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) 

我该如何在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?” 中提到）：

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

你可以找到一个similar example in this gist。
