git packrat [BRANCH]
Do you like branches? Even the ones that went nowhere?
If you hate seeing your git branch output cluttered with dead
branches, yet can't bring yourself to just throwing that
never-to-be-merged code away, git packrat may be for you.
git packrat takes a single argument: the name of a local branch.
To move a branch named some-dead-branch into its 'attic':
git packrat some-dead-branchThis creates an attic bare repo in a parallel directory,
pushes the branch to it, and finally deletes the
local branch.
If you ever need to get it back, just check it out as you would any remote branch:
git checkout attic/some-dead-branchDaniel Rench
