Git Lab 05 - Stashing and Cleaning

When you’ve been working on part of your project, things are in a messy state and you want to switch branches for a bit to work on something else.

The problem is, you don’t want to do a commit of half-done work just so you can get back to this point later. 

The answer to this issue is the git stash command.

Lab 5.1: Stashing Your Work (Untracked file)

git-stash - Stash the changes in a dirty working directory away

Example Code:

$ touch lab5-1
$ git status
$ git stash save -u lab5-1 -m "stash lab5-1"
$ git status
$ git stash list
$ git stash show
$ git stash apply
$ git add lab5-1
$ git commit -m "add lab5-1"

Lab 5.2: Stashing Your Work (Tracked file)

Example Code:

$ touch lab5-2
$ git add lab5-2
$ git status
$ git stash save lab5-2 -m "stash lab5-2"
$ git status
$ git stash list
$ git stash show
$ git stash apply
$ git status
$ git commit -m "add lab5-2"
