Stash

Used when you want to go back to the starting point of the commit.

git stash

1
2
3

git stash
git stash -u   # untracked files
git stash save "message"   # add message record, will be shown in git stash list

Save the current change (either before or after git add, after git stash pop, files will be in the stage before git add). Go back to the starting point of the commit, to do something else (branch out). DO NOT edit the fresh commit (after git stash) directly, otherwise may cause conflict. In this case, use git stash show to find the difference and edit them in the “fresh commit”. Then use git stash clear to drop all stashes, or use git stash drop <STASHNAME>. Then use git add and git commit (not git commit -a).

git stash list

1	git stash list

List stash entries and its name.

Get back to work

1 2	git stash apply <STASHNAME> git stash pop # will drop the first stash (0)

Questions

Working at branch ‘a’, has not commited (could have done git add .). When create a new branch ‘b’ now, every changes in branch ‘a’ will carry over to the new branch, and after doing a commit in the new branch ‘b’, branch ‘a’ will look like anything unchanged (no git add . too).
