Stash

Rationale

Use case: when you've already made some changes, but want to save the changes and apply them later. The reason for this could be you want to apply the changes to another branch.

Commands

git stash save the changes
- git stash save "description" will add a description
git stash list show all stashes and their indeces
git stash show {stash-index} shows the stash specified by {stash-index}
git stash apply apply the last set of changes but keep the stash
- git stash apply stash@{n} choose a stash to apply
git sttash pop similar to apply but removes the stash afterwards.
git stash drop {stash-index} removes a stash
git stash clear removes all stashes
