Git Version Control Cookbook - Second Edition

How to do it...

To save the current state to a stash with a description we can remember at a later point in time, use the following command:

$ git stash save 'Updates to foo'
Saved working directory and index state On master: Updates to foo

Our stash list now looks like the following:

$ git stash list
stash@{0}: On master: Updates to foo
stash@{1}: WIP on master: 2302181 Update foo

We can change bar and create a new stash:

$ echo "Another change" >> bar
$ git stash save 'Made another change to bar'
Saved working directory and index state On master: Made another change to bar
$ git stash list
stash@{0}: On master: Made another change to bar
stash@{1}: On master: Updates to foo
stash@{2}: WIP on master: 2302181 Update foo

We can apply the stashes ...
