git-branch-backup

Creates a local backup of your branch. Usefull to do before git-rebase in case it goes wrong so you do not have to go reflog diving.

Assuming you are standing on master:

$ git branch-backup
Created backup branch 'master.backup1'

$ git branch-backup
Created backup branch 'master.backup2'

et cetera.

When you are done, you can delete backups with:

$ git branch -d master.backup{1..666}

Alias for convenience:

$ git config --global alias.bb branch-backup
