git-share

A simple tool to backup, share & restore git stashes

Why?

• Needed to format my work's laptop and had ~10 stashes didn't want to loose.
• Sometimes I could use a tool like this to share stashes between work-home.

Install

• The tool requires git>=1.8
• Just place git-share in a place PATH accesible so you can run it as a git command.

Features

• Works with submodules
• Can handle conflicts

Usage

1. git share stash backup [DIR] backup all stashes to DIR or default ./git-share_stash (@origin_machine/git_project)
2. Share the directory full of stashes!
3. git share stash restore [DIR] restore all stashes from DIR or default ./git-share_stash (@target_machine/git_project)

Things you may want to consider

• The tool will restore the stash over the current branch and not the original one, so you may have conflicts.
• The tool won't create paths recursively at the provided DIR, so make sure the parent of you DIR exists.
