I have an org file for a long-running project. It's getting hard to manage because there are lots of different tasks, events, etc.
I think I want to create an "archive version" of that file, which would have the same structure but store items, say, with a timestamp older than 2 months. That would require two basic steps:
extracting a subtree from the original file;
merging the extracted subtree into the archived version.
I could implement that, but I wonder if there is any existing way for that? Or some other approach that would address the same issue?
Thanks Amy @grinn for pointing me to the necessary pieces of org-refile! It would have taken much longer to figure out otherwise.
I've made a function that org-refiles the entry at point into "archive/<file-name>.org", preserving the header structure. I only had to implement creating nonexistent headers because `org-refile' can create just one level out-of-the-box.
And another function that performs that operation on all entries found by `org-ql'.
