linkStashing your git changes

One of the powerful features of git, is the ability to stash your changes

The great benefit of stashing, is that it allows you to multitask effectively!

For example, you are working on this great new feature, all of a sudden there is a crisis! The API your customers used suddenly stops working. You are required to go and fix it up immediately. What do we do with the work we have made on our new feature? We stash it!

linkSo let's do it!

1link$# Check your current changes

2link$git status

3link$# Stash them

4link$git stash

5link$# Checkout of your feature branch

6link$git checkout <otherbranch>

7link$# ....fix the bug on the other branch once

8link$# When done we check back into our <featurebranch>

9link$git checkout <featurebranch>

10link$# Reapply the changes from earlier using pop

11link$git stash pop

12link$# Check the changes were reapplied

13link$# git status

linkWith SVN this type of workflow was difficult. It caused developers to commit unfinished work to the master repo. Not good!
