Steps to archive a git branch

Raw

##ARCHIVING A BRANCH:

git checkout <branch name>
git tag archive/<branch name> (yes, this would be "archive/fix/hot_sauce")
git push origin <branch name> (pushes the tag(s) to the server)
git checkout master (could be any branch other than the one you'r archiving, most repos have a "master")
git branch -D <branch name> (delete the branch locally)
git push origin —delete <branch name> (push the delete - delete the branch on the server)

##To re-use the branch: git checkout archive/<branch name> and then git checkout -b <branch name> to recreate the branch
