Stash changes

1. Stash your changes

• push → saves your uncommitted changes to the stash stack.

• -m "message" → lets you label the stash so you know what it is later.

Now your working directory is clean.

---

2. Pull the latest code (optional but recommended)

• origin → the name of your remote (default is usually origin).

• main → replace with your actual branch (could be master, develop, etc.).

• This ensures you’re up to date before pushing.

---

3. Push your branch

• Sends your local commits to the remote repository.

---

4. Re-apply your stashed changes (if you want them back)

• This re-applies the last stashed set of changes and removes it from the stash list.

• If you want to keep the stash around, use git stash apply instead of pop.
