This demo uses git-notes to store detected build inputs (using inotifywait) as a blob (a note) pointing to a commit. In some scenarios, particularly in those codebases with build systems that produce different artifact types (binaries, native packages, container images, etc.) to keep some reproducibility information in the SCM and closer to the inner dev loop.
