Git Stash

We use git stash to store our changes when they are not ready to be committed and we need to change to a different branch.

Stash:

git stash save
# or
git stash
# or with a message
git stash save "this is a message to display on the list"

Apply stash to keep working on it:

git stash apply
# or apply a specific one from out stack
git stash apply stash@{3}

Every time we save a stash it gets stacked so by using list we can see all our stashes.
```
git stash list
# or for more information (log methods)
git stash list --stat
```

To clean our stack we need to manually remove them:

# drop top stash
git stash drop
# or
git stash drop <name>
# to clear all history we can use
git stash clear

Apply and drop on one command:
```
git stash pop
```
If we meet conflicts we need to either reset or commit our changes.
Conflicts through pop will not drop a stash afterwards.

Git Stash sample workflow
