Git Stash

The git stash command is probably one of the most powerful commands in Git.
Git stash is a temporary storage. When you’re ready to continue where you left off, you can restore the saved state easily.
Git stash is used in order to save all the changes done to the current working directory and to go back to the last commit done on the branch (also called HEAD).
The “git stash” command can help you to (temporarily but safely) store your uncommitted local changes.
You need to work on that urgent bug.
First, you want to save out unfinished work changes without committing them.
This is where git stash comes as a savior.
