To delete a specific stash we use the git stash drop command.
To re-apply a specific stash we use the git stash pop command. And the last line Dropped say that stash is removed from the stash list. In the above output we can see that the README file that was stashed is now re-applied to the working directory. If we want to re-apply the most recently created stash we use the git stash pop command.ĭropped (af18d2ac781301c4f9a6cd14f21be74083dd0129) In the above output we see two stashes and they are marked as and a stash $ git stash WIP on master: f066f07 initial WIP on master: f066f07 initial commit To list the stash we use the git stash list command. To stash all the files (tracked, staged, new files, ignored files) we use the git stash -a command. To stash the new file we have to use the -u option. If we use git stash command then the new file README will not get stashed as it is untracked and not committed in Git repository. Nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) Lets say we create a new file README inside the project folder and check the status of the repository using git status command. To stash untracked files we use the git stash -u command. To create a stash with a message we use the git stash save "message" command where, "message" is what we want to set for the stash.īy default, the git stash command will stash files that are being tracked i.e., already added to the Git repository or are staged i.e., ready for commit.įiles that are ignored ( Git Ignore) and files that are newly created and not yet staged are not stashed by git stash command by default. If we now execute the git status command we will get the following. which means the changes are stashed on master branch and from the last commit f066f07.īy default, stash are marked as WIP - "Work In Progress" on top of the branch and commit from which we created the stash. Now all the changes are stashed and we are back to the last commit. Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: f066f07 initial commit In this case we will stash the changes using the git stash command. Now, lets say we want to revert back to the inital state of the working directory and we don't want to lose the changes done to the index.php file. No changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") " to discard changes in working directory) Lets make some changes to the index.php file and check the status of the working directory using git status command. rw-r-r- 1 yusufshakeel staff 0 Feb 12 19:26 index.phpĭrwxr-xr-x 3 yusufshakeel staff 102 Feb 12 19:46 js ĭrwxr-xr-x 14 yusufshakeel staff 476 Feb 16 19:00. ĭrwxr-xr-x 28 yusufshakeel staff 952 Feb 14 22:42. When we execute the git stash command we are stashing the changes in our local repository and the stashes are never moved to the repository server.įollowing is the status of the git-project we created in the Setting up Git repository tutorial.Īnd following are the files in the repository.ĭrwxr-xr-x 5 yusufshakeel staff 170 Feb 12 19:46. Once done you can get back the "new feature" changes from the stash and resume working on it. So, in this case you can stash the changes and return back to the last committed state of the working directory and fix the bug. You are not yet ready with the new feature and you have not committed it in your Git repository.
And then an urgent need to fix a bug rises. We use the git stash command when we want to save and not commit the changes we have made in our working directory and return back to it later.Įxample: Lets say you are adding a new feature. In this tutorial we will learn to stash changes in Git.
