In short
`git stash` temporarily shelves uncommitted changes so you can switch branches cleanly, then reapply them later with `git stash pop`.
How to learn this
- 1Make some uncommitted changes, stash them, switch branches, then pop them back.
- 2Learn `git stash list` and `git stash apply <n>` for managing multiple stashes.
- 3Practice `git stash push -m 'message'` to label stashes for clarity.
