What are some common scenarios for using git stash?

Git stash is useful when you need to switch branches but have uncommitted changes. For example, if you're working on a feature and need to quickly fix a bug on another branch, you can stash your changes.

Can you give me another example?

Sure! If you're in the middle of a complex change and realize you need to pull the latest updates from the remote repository, you can stash your work, pull the updates, and then apply your stash.

What happens to my stashed changes if I forget about them?

Stashed changes are stored in a stack, and they won't be lost unless you clear the stash. You can view them later using git stash list.

How do I apply my stashed changes back to my working directory?

You can apply your stashed changes using git stash apply followed by the stash reference, or simply git stash pop to apply and remove the stash.
