So much knowledge in a single video. I was so much stuck on stash. I was using tfs shelveset. Wasnt able to find better learning on equivalent. Thanks a lot for making things so easy.

How to move to the last commit in your branch,
but also saving the draft you are working on:
- git stash: 1:20
- git stash apply: 1:55
- git stash list: 2:50
- git stash apply + index-number: 3:25
Manipulation of older stashes:
- git stash push -m 'stash-description': 4:50
Deleting stashes: 6:10
- git stash drop + index-number: 6:25
Choose a stash to implement:
- git stash pop + index-number: 7:20
When we don't need stashes anymore:
- git stash clear: 8:45

Super! Exactly what I was missing in my Git learning right now! Dirty commits be gone…

[@consciencetranquille7868]

You cleared my doubt I struggled two days to understand git stash.
Thanks so much

[@chrisgerard6238]

are you french ?

[@andreassumerauer5927]

That was very helpful. One question though:
If I try to merge a remote branch and have uncommitted changes then git tells me: '
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.'
How would I merge my stash after having merged the remote branch?
Thanks!

[@phanCAbe]

excellent video. Outstanding use of examples. Making a full course like this for Git would be worth its weight in gold.

[@academind]

Wow, what an awesome feedback, thanks a lot! We do not plan to create a Git course in the near future, but it's on the "interesting topics" list.

[@ogropor]

Very clean and simplicist. Thank you

[@gilbertngeywo3664]

Nice Video. Can you do one for git rebase

[@academind]

Thank you Gilbert, we got no concrete plans but git rebase is definitely an interesting topic so we'll see.

[@charan0017]

They recently posted a video on this topic with a Title - Git MERGE vs REBASE

Nice tutorial...can you cover rebasing as well. Thanks

Thanks for your great feedback Ibrahim, git rebase is on our list so chances are that we might cover it in a future video :)

Happy to read that you like it Arshdeep, thank YOU for your comment!

[@PavloKirilenko]

nice and clear explanation, Thanks!

[@Islamicnoor-09]

I have one doubt, so basically git stash is only for existing files modification not for new files that we want to add and try to save in stash area ???

[@Shaaah_]

By default - git stash captures both modified tracked files and any untracked files (including new files) in your working directory.

[@haans8]

Thank you, this help me a lot

[@reveryoungfo]

Good job! Can we drop more than 1 stash index?

[@vladimirmikulic7860]

Sebastian Mieszczańczyk yes, but it's a little more complicated. You can do that in code, not with command actually. Because every time you drop one stash index of other stashes are decreased by 1. Personally, I run for loop for that.

[@sathishkumarr7106]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙂 really a great video 🙂

[@spiritualquest6092]

Excellent!

[@distinctlyaverage1449]

Short and to the point with no bs. Love it!

[@academind]

Thank you!

[@pradeep_kumar_ind]

Thanks but I could not understand why git stash apply 1 didnt work and why git stash 2 worked?. When git stash apply 1 didnt work, you said that it is because it was a later stash, but git stash 2 is also a later stash but it worked after you executed a stash command.

[@ShaharRefael]

great tutorial

[@mikolajdebowski3271]

very good video thank you

[@fadif8818]

Hello.. I am wondering how come you are not getting this message: "
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
bin/Stash.class
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge."
after your "git stash apply" commit..

[@MrRojas90]

Thanks for the explain. Could you explain me what's the difference between: git stash save VS git stash push -m?

[@academind]

Thank YOU for your comment Gerardo! git stash save is just deprecated, therefore it is recommended so use git stash push now instead.

[@MrRojas90]

@@academind :O I didn't know that, thanks again, I think should go to read about it.

if you see yourself using all of these commands in a project,then your project manager is definitely a jerk. but thanks by the way,now i am ready to face a jerk.

[@moubiswasEdits]

while commenting on git stash with the command ' git stash push -m "comments" ' isn't here the command 'git push' is used while pushing your changes to your current repository ?? can these 2 make any kind of conflict?

[@tmv-777]

Can't see the much difference between "git stash apply (index number)" and "git stash pop (index number)". Both are bringing draft version back to code, and than again we have to commit it?

[@vladimirmikulic7860]

tmvukov git stash apply will bring your draft, but WON'T DELETE your stash, while on the other hand git stash pop will bring your draft and DELETE it. Hope it helps :)
