To stash unchanged files on Git, you can use the command "git stash". This command will temporarily stash all changes, including unchanged files, in your repository, giving you a clean working directory. This can be useful if you want to save your current changes for later without committing them. To stash unchanged files, simply run "git stash" in your terminal while in the repository you want to stash the changes for. You can later apply the stashed changes using the command "git stash apply".

How to stash changes in a specific directory in git?
To stash changes in a specific directory in git, you can use the following steps:
- Navigate to the specific directory where you want to stash changes.
- Use the following command to stash changes in that directory:
1
|
git stash push -m "Your message" -- <directory>
|
Replace <directory> with the path to the specific directory where you want to stash changes. You can also add a meaningful message by replacing "Your message" with a descriptive message.
3. Your changes will be stashed and you can retrieve them later using git stash pop or git stash apply commands.
4. You can list all stashes with git stash list command and apply specific stash with git stash apply <stash_id> command.
Remember to commit your changes before stashing them, as stashing only saves changes that have not been committed.
How to stash changes while keeping the working tree clean in git?
Git provides a way to stash changes while keeping the working tree clean using the git stash command.
To stash changes in Git while keeping the working tree clean, follow these steps:
- Make sure your working directory is clean by either committing or discarding any changes you don't want to stash.
- Run git stash to stash your changes. This will save your changes to a stack of stashes without committing them.
- If you want to stash untracked files as well, add the -u or --include-untracked flag to the git stash command: git stash -u.
- Your changes are now stashed and your working directory is clean.
To apply your stashed changes back to your working directory, you can use the following commands:
- To apply the most recent stash to your working directory, use git stash apply.
- To apply a specific stash, use git stash apply stash@{n}, replacing n with the number of the stash you want to apply.
You can also list all stashes with git stash list and delete a specific stash with git stash drop stash@{n}.
Remember that stashing changes is useful for temporarily saving work that's not ready to be committed, but it's important to eventually commit or discard these changes to keep your Git history clean and organized.
