Git | Working with Stash

Pre-requisites: Git

Git allows multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously. Suppose a developer is working on a feature in a branch and he needs to pull changes from some other developer’s branch or if he has to work urgently on some other feature, but the feature he is currently working on is incomplete. In this case, you cannot commit the partial code of the currently working feature. To add this new feature, you have to remove your current changes and store them somewhere else. For this type of situation, Git offers a very useful command known as ‘git stash‘. git stash command saves the previously written code and then returns to the last commit for a fresh start. Now you can add the new feature without disturbing the old one as it is saved locally. After committing to the new feature you can go on with working on the old feature which was incomplete and uncommitted.

What Are Git Stash Apply And POP(Git Stash Apply & POP)

You can reapply the previously stashed changes with the ‘git stash pop’ or ‘git stash apply’ commands. The only difference between both the commands is that ‘git stash pop’ removes the changes from the stash and reapplies the changes in the working copy while ‘git stash apply’ only reapplies the changes in the working copy without removing the changes from the stash. In simple words, “pop” removes the state from the stash list while “apply” does not remove the state from the stash list. With the aid of the subsequent command, we can reapply the stored changes. The most current stash will be applied to our working directory, and it will also be taken from the list of stashes....
