Combine advanced stash options
Git stash provides several options for temporarily saving different working states. -u includes untracked files, stash branch creates a new branch from saved changes, and stash show -p displays the saved differences in detail.
git stash -u
git stash branch task-work stash@{0}
git stash show -pThese commands help you preserve unfinished work, continue on a separate branch, and inspect changes.
Practice Build an advanced stash workflow
Add the following operations to the commands array in order: git stash -u to save untracked files, git stash branch experiment-work to create a new working branch, and git stash show -p to inspect differences. Print the commands on separate lines.
Starter code
const commands = [
// İleri stash işlemlerini sırala
];
// Komutları yazdırSample solution
let commands = [
"git stash -u",
"git stash branch experiment-work",
"git stash show -p"
];
console.log(commands.join("\n"));Expected output
git stash -u git stash branch experiment-work git stash show -p

Review the lesson questions together with their answers. To test yourself, solve the lesson interactively.
1 You want to save new files too and then continue working on a separate branch. Which command sequence is appropriate?
- git stash -u followed by git stash branch task-work Correct answer
- git stash pop followed by git clone
- git stash list followed by git reset --hard
- git stash show -p followed by git merge
Explanation: <code>git stash -u</code> saves untracked files. Then <code>git stash branch</code> can create a new branch from that entry.
