orphan-branch-file-storage

To store files on a git orphan branch without history, this skill automates creating an empty orphan branch using a temporary worktree and commits your specified files directly to it, isolating them from your main repository history.

The best way to archive files in a separate git branch is using a temporary worktree to isolate and commit them to a dedicated branch, which either creates a new orphan branch or updates an existing storage branch with an upstream fast-forward pull.

Yes, you need Python 3 and git installed to stash files on a dedicated branch, as the automation script relies on Python 3 for repository management and path resolution during the temporary worktree creation process.

Yes, you can push archived files to a remote branch automatically by using a single optional push flag after the script commits your stored files to the dedicated branch.

Yes, when updating an existing file storage branch, the script fetches and pulls upstream changes first to perform a fast-forward merge before applying your new file updates.

You can map source files to different destination paths when archiving by providing explicit source-to-destination mappings, alongside support for standard repo-relative paths and absolute paths as inputs to the script.
