Git Stash in Git & GitHub
Sometimes you start working on something, then need to switch to a different task without committing. `git stash` temporarily saves your changes in a safe place, letting you come back to them later.
Stashing is like putting your work in a drawer. Your working directory becomes clean, but your changes aren't lost. You can retrieve them anytime with `git stash pop`.
Priya is working on a new feature when Arjun asks her to fix an urgent bug. She stashes her feature work, fixes the bug, then pops her feature work back to continue where she left off.
Git Stash — Syntax
git stash # Save work git stash pop # Restore latest stash git stash list # List all stashes git stash drop # Delete a stash
