Introduction

A git plugin to make archiving branches to tags easier. The plugin takes a branch (or uses the current branch if none is specified on the command line) and:

• validates it is not the master or git is in detached head state
• checks out the master branch
• creates a tag archive/{branch}
• pushes this tag to the origin
• deletes the branch
• deletes the branch from the origin

Installation

Via git clone.

The installer installs git-semver into the first of the following directories that exist and are in the path:

• /usr/local/bin
• /usr/bin
• /bin

In Linux, OSX and Windows Cygwin the installer will create a symlink. In Windows MinGW creates a stub instead.

(git clone [email protected]:markchalloner/git-branch-archive.git && \
cd git-branch-archive && git checkout $(
    git tag | grep '^[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+$' | \
    sort -t. -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n | tail -n 1
) && sudo ./install.sh)

Usage

git branch-archive [branch-name]

Uninstallation

Automatically

Via uninstaller in clone directory. Navigate to your original clone directory and run:

sudo git-branch-archive/uninstall.sh

Manually

git-branch-archive is installed by placing a symlink/stub in one of the bin directories in the path.

• ${HOME}/bin
• /usr/local/bin
• /usr/bin
• /bin

It can be deleted easily:

sudo rm $(which git-branch-archive)
