Notes

Git commits

Gitmarks are also used in a git commit message, with an empty body, to mark the history

in a commit message a space was originally used instead of : so that would be supported in parsers

Multi chain

Gitmark was designed to be prototyped on the bitmark chain. But other chains will be supported. A mechanism is not yet found but will be backward compatible with parsers

Supported chains, bitcoin, litecoin, liquid network

Git tags

The : character is not available in a git tag, so if used in a tag a possible workaround may be needed
