git-backup

A lot of Git trouble can be avoided by branching before powerful operations such as rebase. This Gem adds a Git subcommand called backup for making that easy.

Running,

git backup

Will effectively do,

git branch backup/your-current-branch-name-1

Running the command more than once for the same branch name will create backup/your-current-branch-name-2, backup/your-current-branch-name-3, and so on.

Installing from RubyGems.org

sudo gem install git-backup
