How to stash your Git changes and fix a bug

Here’s a situation every developer knows: you're halfway through coding a new feature, and suddenly you get an urgent request to fix a critical bug on the live site. Your current code is unfinished and broken. You can't commit it. What do you do? For a long time, I used to manually copy my changes into a text file, which was messy. Then I learned about a simple Git command that is a lifesaver: 𝗴𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵. It temporarily saves all your uncommitted changes, leaving your working directory clean. You can then switch branches, fix the bug, and when you're done, come back and re-apply your stashed changes with 𝗴𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗽𝗼𝗽. It’s a simple but powerful tool for anyone who works with Git. #Git #GitHub #DeveloperTips #Coding #ProgrammingTips #WebDeveloper #SoftwareDeveloper #Productivity #LearnToCode
