git-checkout-history
====================

Store history of your previously checked out git branches and quickly go back to recent branches.

Here's an example of how it's used:

	$ git branch
	* master
	
	$ git checkout-store -b new-feature
	Switched to a new branch 'new-feature'
	
	$ git checkout-store -b feature-to-code-review
	Switched to a new branch 'feature-to-code-review'
	
	$ git checkout-store master
	Switched to branch 'master'
	
	$ git checkout-history
	[1] feature-to-code-review
	[2] new-feature
	
	$ git checkout-history 2
	Switched to branch 'new-feature'
	
	$ git checkout-history
	[1] master
	[2] feature-to-code-review
	[3] new-feature


Branch history is stored in a file called `~/.git-checkout-history`. This is a YAML file that contains a list of previously stored branches.

To make the tool easier to use, git aliases can be used:

	$ git config --global alias.chs checkout-store
	$ git config --global alias.ch checkout-history
	
	$ git chs a-branch


## Known Issues
* Currently, branch history is stored globally. When used in multiple repositories, all branches go to the same list. There should be a different branch storage list for each repository.
* History never gets cleared. Not sure if this is actually an issue, but personally I don't really care about branch history from before the current day.
