Stash

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap

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

  1. 1Make some uncommitted changes, stash them, switch branches, then pop them back.
  2. 2Learn `git stash list` and `git stash apply <n>` for managing multiple stashes.
  3. 3Practice `git stash push -m 'message'` to label stashes for clarity.
