archive-branch

Archives git Branches as Tags

Usage

archive-branch.sh [branch_name], where [branch_name] is the name of the branch you want to archive. The branch will be deleted, and a tag marking the location of the old branch will be created with the name archive/[branch_name].

To restore an archived branch, simply check it out: git checkout -b [branch_name] archive/[branch_name].

How It Works

archive-branch first verifies that the branch exists and that no tag with the name archive/[branch_name] exists. Then, it creates the tag using git tag archive/[branch_name] [branch_name] and deletes the branch using git branch -d [branch_name].
