Stashing – Temporarily Saving Your Changes
The purpose of the Git stashing feature is to make it possible to save changes you've done in
your workspace but that you for some reason don't want to commit to the repository at this
time. The typical example is where you are half-way through a change and don't want to
commit it when you get some more urgent task you need to handle. Stashing enables you to
store them in a safe place and get them back later.
The mechanism thus has two parts:
• Save your changes, ”stash” them
• Get your changes back, ”unstash” them
For command line handling of stashes and more information about stashing see for example
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-Tools-Stashing. In this section we'll focus on the
RSARTE user interface actions.
To stash your changes you can use the ”Stashes → Stash Changes” command that is available
for a repository in the Git Repositories view. This will save both the modified files in your
workspace and the files you have added to the Git index.
