Archiving Git Branches as Tags
I have a spicy git alias that allows me to “archive” old git branches by converting them to tags, making them less visible across git tooling. # ~/.gitconfig [alias] archive-branch = “!f() { : git switch; local git_branch=${1:-$(git branch –show-current)}; git co main && git tag archive/$git_branch $git_branch && git branch -D $git_branch; }; f” […]
