How to create, list and delete Stash¶
In the current branch we have done some changes in the file and we havent committed those changes, now you want to work on some other idea, but you want to save this changes for future purpose, we can save this chnages locally using stash.
Run "git stash" and the current branch will become clean and all the chnages what you amd will be stored locally in temporary space.
git stash or git stash save (By default if we run git stash it will append the "save" keyword to it )
git stash
git stash save
Create a stash with message¶
git stash save "message"
To list the stash¶
git stash list
To apply the stash to the current branch¶
git stash apply
To apply the specific stash from stash list¶
git stash apply stash@{index_no}
To stash both tracked and untracked files¶
If we do some chnages in the tracked file and also in one untacked file (new file). If we run git stash now, it will only stash the tracked files, it wont stash the untracked files
git stash -u --> to stash both tracked and untracked files
Other Option : we can add the untracked file and run "git stash" also
To do git stash apply and git stash drop in a single command¶
git stash pop
To know the file changes in stash¶
git stash show stash@{index_no}
To take stash changes from one branch to another new branch¶
First stash the files/changes in the current branch
Then exceute the following command, it will automatically create a new branch, switch to that branch and take all the changes from the top stash to that branch and that stash will be dropped from the stash list
git stash branch new_branch_name
To take specific stash changes from one branch to another new branch¶
git stash branch new_branch_name stash@{index_no}
