Thanks - and yeah, I'm realizing that I didn't explain stash... like at all in the post 🤦♂️ oops.
Stash is a temporary place you can put work in progress. Usually, the workflow goes something like this:
You are working on something in your working directory
a high priority bug comes in. To fix it, you have to switch branches and clear your working directory of the changes you already have made
instead of trying to save your work for later in a commit or a special branch, etc, you can put it in the "stash" with git stash
Then you go and fix the high priority bug
later, you can re-apply what was in the stash with git stash apply or git stash pop (pop will remove it from the stash; apply just brings it back over)
then you can continue to work on whatever you were working on from bullet 1.
Hope that helps a bit! I probably should have had a separate point for it in the guide 😀
