Stash Smarter, Not Harder: Naming Your Stashes

We all use git stash when we need to jump branches quickly, but dealing with a pile of generic 'WIP on master' stashes is a nightmare when you need to recover something specific. Try using git stash push -m "Descriptive message here" instead. This gives your stash meaningful context right away, making it trivial to find the right changes later when you view the list. It’s a tiny change that saves massive headaches compared to blindly applying and dropping stashes until you find the right one.
