# 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.
