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
## Installation
Visit the [releases](https://github.com/teddywing/git-checkout-history/releases) page and download `git-checkout-history` and `git-checkout-store` for your platform. Put these binaries on your PATH and you should be able to run them using `git`.
### Installing From Source
Run these commands to build `git-checkout-history` and `git-checkout-store`:
$ go get github.com/teddywing/git-checkout-history/...
$ go install github.com/teddywing/git-checkout-history/git-checkout-history
$ go install github.com/teddywing/git-checkout-history/git-checkout-store
## Shell Completion
If you use bash or zsh completion for git, a patch file is included to add this functionality for `git-checkout-store`. The patch enables `checkout-store` to have the same completion functionality as `checkout`. It can be applied as usual:
$ patch path/to/git-completion.bash < path/to/git-completion.bash.patch
## Known Issues
* 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.
