Summary - Stash

Combine the stash flow to manage intermediate changes.

Stash workflow summary

git stash provides a clean working directory by safely shelving unfinished work into a stack. You can track all saved stashes and their indexes with git stash list. When restoring, choose pop to discard the entry or apply to keep it for reuse.

git stash push -m "feature work"
git stash list
git stash apply stash@{0}
git stash drop stash@{0}

This toolkit lets you manage in-progress work without cluttering commits when switching branches.

Exercise Verify stash apply and list

Apply the stash using git stash apply -q, print the file content with cat site.txt, and show that the entry remains in the stack with git stash list.

Show example solution

git init -q -b main
git config user.name "Kemal"
git config user.email "kemal@example.com"
echo "ana icerik" > site.txt
git add site.txt
git commit -qm "Ilk site"
echo "yeni banner" >> site.txt
git stash push -qm "banner calismasi"

git stash apply -q
cat site.txt
git stash list

Test yourself

Which stash command should a developer choose to apply the same temporary change to multiple branches?
