Git Version Control Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

In this example, we'll use the Git-Version-Control-Cookbook-Second-Edition_tips_and_tricks repository. We'll use the master branch, but before we are ready to try the stash command, we need to create some changes in the working directory and the staging area, as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Git-Version-Control-Cookbook-Second-Edition_tips_and_tricks.git
$ cd Git-Version-Control-Cookbook-Second-Edition_tips_and_tricks$ git checkout master

Make some changes to foo and add them to the staging area, as follows:

$ echo "Just another unfinished line" >> foo
$ git add foo

Make some changes to bar and create a new file:

$ echo "Another line" >> bar
$ echo "Some content" > new_file
$ git status
On branch master ...
