Great writeup.

Some of the downfalls to git-stash include:

  • Not creating an entry in the reflog
  • Not being recoverable on other machines
  • Not being recoverable in the event of disk corruption or other data loss

To avoid these issues altogether, I wrote git-shelf, which I recommend to colleagues and other industry professionals as an alternative solution to saving works-in-progress.

Thank you so much for sharing this Ben, I read so many articles before compiling this one, but I never came across these points. I am grateful for these insights and the introduction to a new command git-shelf.
