Using as a stash

amardeep opened this issue · 0 comments

It is not really an issue, so should be ok to close it. Just wanted to
share my excitement in discovering this tool, as it looks perfect for
my need to stash files.

While working for eg. in a git repository or elsewhere, I end up creating
some temporary files which doesn't really belong in the repository. At the
same time, I don't feel like deleting them permanently as there is a chance
I might need them sometime in distant future. But if I don't remove them
the list of Untracked Files in git keeps increasing.

So, I have added alias stash="rip --graveyard <my homedir>/stash". Rip
will take care of keeping the backup, keeping multiple backups in case of
conflicts and retaining the whole path. As a bonus, stash -s lets me see
files stashed in current directory. So, thank you for this tool :)
