The command git stash , picks All the changes in staging and save it in a separate place. Thus, this useful and aptly named command clears your staging area. 🔥
That way you can save a set of changes you have made but do not yet want to commit. 💥
$ git stash
Or, if you would need to stash untracked changes as well, use -u argument: 💡
$ git stash -u
In particular, I use more stash when I need to git pull and want to avoid conflicts between local changes and changes upstream.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To restore your local changes back to staging, you need to apply your stash. The following command recreates the latest changes that were stashed away: ✔️
$ git stash apply
You can have more than one stash. By default, your stashes will be applied in FILO (First-in, last-out) order.
#git #vcs #stash
