Git STASH Tutorial

Learning any Git technique can be this easy: learngit.io/
-----
What is the Git stash command, and how do you use it? Git stash allows you to set aside in-progress changes for later. In addition to simply saving drafts of your work, stashes can be manipulated in interesting ways to improve your Git workflow. In this tutorial I'll explain how to use Git stash (including common commands such as "git stash pop", "git stash list", "git stash show", "git stash drop", "git stash clear", and "git stash branch"). As always, I'll illustrate the concepts with live animations alongside the actual commands.

Nice video. I think you can mention that git stash -u can add all the files (tracked and untracked) without the need to perform git add . .

[@AkinBelieve]

Excellent. Very few can deliver technical information with this sort of precision. Please, please, please keep these coming.

[@themoderncoder]

Appreciate the compliment! These vids end up taking a ton of time to make, but I’m committed to keeping them going at least once a month. Hopefully I can find a rhythm for 2 a month, but we’ll see…

[@treequin]

Awesome video! The animations and layout are superb, they made it all perfectly clear to me.

[@themoderncoder]

Awesome, appreciate you saying that

[@Sudhakar-msr]

Animated way of explaining the stuff really helps. keep going. looking forward for much more git topics. subscribed

[@themoderncoder]

Appreciate the sub!

[@radvilardian740]

Bro, ur git videos is incredibly azing, This saves lots of times to learn those useful command and understanding how it works, very much appreciated bro, these are all meats..

[@themoderncoder]

Appreciate it man

[@gadgetsexplain]

Very useful teaching method

[@roychang9506]

subscribed. your git tutorial is a gem please keep it up

[@themoderncoder]

Thanks! I'm releasing more Git videos, so I hope those help as well

[@knecks7374]

Absolutely Awesome Big man! thanks

Great tutorial 😮 Thank you 🙏🏻

You’re welcome 😊

good explanation

[@yssplays2620]

new subscriber. best explain very very very nice

[@themoderncoder]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@juandavidcardenas1253]

Thanks a lot, It´s very useful. I was thinking how if you don't know the different git features like this, you might miss out on being more productive.

[@themoderncoder]

True, very much agree

[@nishikantwairkar6866]

too good

[@FullMetalAlgorithmist]

Hi, I have a question. Is the stack data specific to a particular branch, or is that stack stored globally across all branches? If i do git stash in one branch, and then if i switch branch and pop the stack there, what will happen?

[@themoderncoder]

Stash's are one stack per repository. So if you create a stash on one branch, switch branches, then pop the stash, it'll apply those changes into the working directory.

[@FullMetalAlgorithmist]

@@themoderncoder Great, thanks!

[@gentjanshtjefni4368]

can i pop the stash on another branch?

[@themoderncoder]

Yeah go for it. Stash on one branch, switch branches, then pop/apply the stash. Should work fine

[@harikrishnan9967]

Hi bro i have one issue while cherry pick what is happening na example my bug fix is in fix1 branch which dev branch and i need to movie that in production branch so when i moved this thing in that prod branch it error while im compiling because of in prod old code is there and dev every person doing new changes are there my cherry pick changes are moved to some other lines so help me to resolve this bro

[@themoderncoder]

I'm not 100% sure I understood your question, but a suggestion would be to rebase your "fix1" branch against production BEFORE cherry picking. This would at least minimize the amount of conflicting changes.

[@harikrishnan9967]

@@themoderncoder im not talking about conflict, after resolving the conflict while I'm compile it is showing some errors because of cherry pick is stored in wrong lines in files

[@OpenDeepLearning]

I am curious about you and your career / mind. Why would you restart your KZbin account? I mean, I think you earned a lot of money working on Amazon, right?

[@themoderncoder]

The high-level reason is that KZbin is certainly not about the money

[@OpenDeepLearning]

@@themoderncoder but about what?

[@user_account3841]

How to roll back when a stash is pulled off?

[@themoderncoder]

It's not so easy to undo an accidental stash pop. There are two things to undo: 1) The stash was dropped from your stash list and needs to be recovered. 2) You need to rollback the modifications in your working directory that were added by the stash. Step 1 can be solved using something like this to recover the stash: copyprogramming.com/howto/undoing-accidental-git-stash-pop. But for step 2, it might be a matter of manually using "git restore" to remove any modifications you don't want. If anyone here in the comments know's a better was for step 2, let us know.

[@stuck1a]

I dont get it why everyone want to use all that time-consuming and confusing version control systems. Back in the 90s we were also able to work in teams without all that fancy things. It's so annoying to spend hours to solve dozens of conflicts before each pull request. After all, imho it just promotes chaos, so that everyone just codes whatever he wants instead of coordinating properly
