What are some useful git stash commands?

Git stash commands are used to temporarily save changes in your working directory. Some useful commands include:

1. git stash - Stashes your changes.
2. git stash list - Lists all stashed changes.
3. git stash apply - Applies the most recent stash.
4. git stash pop - Applies the most recent stash and removes it from the stash list.
5. git stash drop - Deletes a specific stash.

How do I apply a specific stash?

To apply a specific stash, use the command git stash apply stash@{n}, where n is the index of the stash you want to apply. You can find the index by running git stash list.

What happens to my changes after I stash them?

When you stash your changes, they are saved in a stack-like structure, and your working directory is reverted to the last commit. You can retrieve them later using git stash apply or git stash pop.

Can I stash untracked files?

Yes, you can stash untracked files by using the command git stash -u or git stash --include-untracked. This will include untracked files in the stash.
