Saving and applying stashes

When stashing away work, we can easily have more than one state stashed away at a time. However, the default names for stashed away changes aren't always helpful. In this example, we'll see how we can save stashes and name them so that it is easy to identify them again when listing the content of the stash. We'll also learn how to apply a stash without deleting it from the stash list.
