First of all: let us understand why do we need to use stash? In order to understand what stash is, we first need to understand the 3-states. Git has a built-in model named 3-states which is the internal git structure for working with local repository. The "problem" with the 3-states is that there is one per repository and not one per branch.
git stash apply stash@{0} (note that in some shells you need to quote "stash@{0}", like zsh, fish and powershell). Since version 2.11, it's pretty easy, you can use the N stack number instead of using stash@{n}. So now instead of using: git stash apply "stash@{n}" You can type: git stash apply n To get list of stashes: git stash list
Alias for DOUBLE STASH: git config --global alias.stash-staged '!bash -c "git stash --keep-index; git stash push -m "staged" --keep-index; git stash pop stash@{1}"' Now you can stage your files and then run git stash-staged. As result your staged files will be saved into stash. If you do not want to keep staged files and want move them into stash.
git stash pop throws away the (topmost, by default) stash after applying it, whereas git stash apply leaves it in the stash list for possible later reuse (or you can then git stash drop it). This happens unless there are conflicts after git stash pop, in which case it will not remove the stash, leaving it to behave exactly like git stash apply.
$ git stash save --keep-index "changes not yet staged" (although actually it does contain all the changes as noted in other answers). For example, the above might be followed immediately by: $ git stash save "staged changes for feature X" Beware, though, that you can't then use $ git stash apply "stash@{1}" ### doesn't quite do what you might want
$ # Stash any pending changes you have, if applicable. $ git stash -um "temporary stash" $ # Re-apply the stashed changes whose message you want to change. $ git stash apply stash@{1} $ # Now stash again with the message you want. $ git stash push -um "good message" $ # Now you can pop your temporary stash and drop your poorly named one. $ git stash pop $ git stash drop stash@{1}
I just did a stash in a project that I haven't commit. Is there a way to go back to the state before I stashed? How could I do this? I've closed the terminal and my laptop is shut down. I've done s...
git stash the non-committed changes (fixing issue B) Go back to the master or main branch, possibly checking out a new branch to fix issue B. git stash pop the fixes for issue B in the current branch and commit them. Possibly git stash drop if the stash required manual merge.
Stash will move your modified files into a stack. So, later in the same or in another branch, you will be able to bring them back and see those modifications in your project. Stage is the step before to make a commit, you add modified files to "Staged files" to create your next commit.
Replace stash@{0} with the applicable stash number as needed. Beware that git diff stash@{0} may produce misleading results. If the two histories of your stash and current branch have diverged, the diff will look like you’re adding all the new stuff in your stash and removing everything unique to the current branch. answer based on the git book
