<p>You're in the middle of some changes but something comes up that you
need to jump over to, like a so-urgent-right-now bugfix, but don't want
to commit or lose your current edits. <code>git stash</code> is there for you.
</p>
<h4>
git stash
<small>add current changes to the stack</small>
</h4>
<p>Stashing takes the current state of the working directory and index,
puts it on a stack for later, and gives you back a clean working directory.
It will then leave you at the state of the last commit.
</p>
<pre>
<b>$ git status -s</b>
<span class="red">M</span> hello.rb
<b>$ git stash</b>
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: 5857ac1 hello with a flower
HEAD is now at 5857ac1 hello with a flower
<b>$ git status</b>
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
</pre>
<h4>
git stash list
<small>view stashes currently on the stack</small>
</h4>
<p>It's helpful to know what you've got stowed on the stash and this is where
<code>git stash list</code> comes in. Running this command will display a queue
of current stash items.
</p>
<pre>
<b>$ git stash list</b>
stash@{0}: WIP on master: 5857ac1 hello with a flower
</pre>
<p>The last item added onto the stash will be referenced by
<code>stash@{0}</code> and increment those already there by one.
</p>
<pre>
<b>$ vim hello.rb</b>
<b>$ git commit -am 'it stops raining'</b>
[master ee2d2c6] it stops raining
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
<b>$ vim hello.rb</b>
<b>$ git stash</b>
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: ee2d2c6 it stops raining
HEAD is now at ee2d2c6 it stops raining
<b>$ git stash list</b>
stash@{0}: WIP on master: ee2d2c6 it stops raining
stash@{1}: WIP on master: 5857ac1 hello with a flower
</pre>
<h4>
git stash apply
<small>grab the item from the stash list and apply to current working directory</small>
</h4>
<p>When you're ready to continue from where you left off, run the
<code>git stash apply</code> command to bring back the saved changes
onto the working directory.
</p>
<pre>
<b>$ git stash apply</b>
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add &lt;file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- &lt;file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# <span class="red">modified: hello.rb</span>
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
</pre>
<p>By default it will reapply the last added stash item to the working
directory. This will be the item referenced by <code>stash@{0}</code>.
You can grab another stash item instead if you reference it in the arguments
list. For example, <code>git stash apply stash@{1}</code> will apply the item
referenced by <code>stash@{1}</code>.
</p>
<p>If you also want to remove the item from the stack at the same time,
use <code>git stash pop</code> instead.
</p>
<h4>
git stash drop
<small>remove an item from the stash list</small>
</h4>
<p>When you're done with the stashed item and/or want to remove it from the
list, run the <code>git stash drop</code> command. By default this will
remove the last added stash item. You can also remove a specific item if
you include it as an argument.
</p>
<p>In this example, our stash list has at least two items, but we want
to get rid of the item added before last, which is referenced by
<code>stash@{1}</code>.
</p>
<pre>
<b>$ git stash drop stash@{1}</b>
Dropped stash@{1} (0b1478540189f30fef9804684673907c65865d8f)
</pre>
<p>If you want to remove of all the stored items, just run
the <code>git stash clear</code> command. But only do this if you're
sure you're done with the stash.
</p>
<p class="nutshell">
<strong>In a nutshell</strong>, run <code>git stash</code> to quickly save
some changes that you're not ready to commit or save, but want to come
back to while you work on something else.
