Stash

Summary

`git stash` temporarily shelves uncommitted changes so you can switch branches cleanly, then reapply them later with `git stash pop`. Stashes are useful for short-lived context switches, but meaningful work is generally safer as a branch or commit so it remains visible and shareable.

• 1Make some uncommitted changes, stash them, switch branches, then pop them back. Validate your understanding by applying it in a small practical example.
• 2Learn `git stash list` and `git stash apply <n>` for managing multiple stashes. Focus on understanding the underlying reason it works, not only memorizing the definition.
• 3Practice `git stash push -m 'message'` to label stashes for clarity.
