The Power of Git Stash (and Why You Need to Name Them)

Everyone knows git stash is great for temporarily saving changes when you need to switch branches quickly. But did you know you can name your stashes? Instead of just git stash, use git stash push -m "WIP: Feature X refactor". This makes git stash list actually readable when you come back to it three days later, preventing you from accidentally popping the wrong set of changes. Treat your stashes like temporary branches—give them meaningful labels!
