git-branch-list

A Git add-on that allows you to maintain a list of branches to check out quickly. Branches can be added and removed from the list, and checked out using their ID. This makes it easier to switch between a group of active branches for development and code review tasks by eliminating the need to remember branch names.

Example

$ git branch
  3254-make-logo-bigger
* 3901-eliminate-CombinationService
  4011-catalog--populate-drop-down-via-AJAX
  master
$ git branch-list save
$ git branch-list
     1	3901-eliminate-CombinationService
$ git branch-list save 3254-make-logo-bigger
$ git branch-list
     1	3254-make-logo-bigger
     2	3901-eliminate-CombinationService
$ git checkout 4011-catalog--populate-drop-down-via-AJAX
Switched to branch '4011-catalog--populate-drop-down-via-AJAX'
$ git branch-list save
$ git branch-list
     1	4011-catalog--populate-drop-down-via-AJAX
     2	3254-make-logo-bigger
     3	3901-eliminate-CombinationService
$ git branch-list 3
Switched to branch '3901-eliminate-CombinationService'
$ git branch-list drop 3
$ git branch-list
     1	4011-catalog--populate-drop-down-via-AJAX
     2	3254-make-logo-bigger
