I got Déjà vu again - I was searching on a popular search engine for a command to help me stash my changes in a certain way, I felt like I had been here before. Google confirmed this by displaying a familiar purple text colour showing me I had indeed visited this page before.
So I decided to make a quick note to myself (and for any others who may stumble upon this post), at least I'll be giving myself post views when I inevitably forgot these commands and need to look them up again.
This is not meant to be an in-depth analysis or rundown of the full git stash CLI, you can find that here.
This is simply to serve as a reminder of those commands I find myself needing from time to time.
Simple and classic - Stash your changes
git stash
Add a message to your stash
git stash --save "Super descriptive message goes here"
You can include untracked files
git stash --include-untracked
# Or a bit shorter
git stash -u
When you want to stash everything apart from staged changes
git stash --keep-index
# Save those keys
git stash -k
Have a look at your stashes
git stash list
Apply the last stashed change and remove it from your stash list
git stash pop
Apply the last stash change but keep it in the list as a stash (for some reason)
git stash apply
Clear up after yourself and remove all stashes
git stash clear
