Emacs Archiver

./archiver.gif

This package is bran new (as of September 19, 2024). Use with caution.

Emacs Org mode provides a nice feature which is that you can archive a subheading to an archive file or heading. However, by default, the archived sub-trees are all inserted at the root level of the archive folder.

This package provides the ability to archive a tree in org mode such that the branch structure of the org file is mirrored by the archive file, without creating duplicate branches or clobbering existing branches.

Installation

Clone the repository in your preferred destination.

cd ~/path/to
git clone https://github.com/Duncan-Britt/emacs-archiver.git

Add the following to your config, specifying the path to the cloned repository and the path to your agenda archive file.

(use-package archiver
  :load-path "~/path/to/archiver/"
  :after org
  :init
  (setq *archiver-agenda-archive-location*
        (expand-file-name "~/path/to/your/agenda_archive.org"))
  :bind
  (:map org-mode-map
        ("C-c C-x C-a" . archiver-archive-heading)))

Limitations

This package make the simplifying assumption that the immediate child headings will be distinct under the parent heading. That is, no duplicates. For the author’s use case, it’s a reasonable assumption, and it’s not obvious how the alternative case should be handled.
