Using Git Stash in Multi-Branch Workflows

You're likely to work with multiple branches for different features, bug fixes, and releases. While managing these branches, you might run into situations where you need to temporarily save your work without committing it, and later apply it on the same or even a different branch.

Applying and Clearing Git Stashes

In the previous post, we discussed how to use git stash to temporarily save changes without committing them. Now, we'll dive deeper into how to apply and clear stashes when you're ready to bring your changes back or clean up your stash history.
