What is Git Stash?
Before diving into stashing specific files, it’s essential to understand the basic usage of `git stash`. By default, `git stash` saves all modified and staged changes, returning your working directory to the state of the last commit. You can later apply these changes with `git stash apply` or create a new branch with them using `git stash branch`.
The basic commands are:
- Stash changes: git stash
- List stashes: git stash list
- Apply the latest stash: git stash apply
- Drop a stash: git stash drop
