How can I save changes to my branch and switch to another branch without committing?

  • 772

It is possible that I have several branches

--develop
---foo
---bar

And for example, I have changes in foo, but I want to go to , barbut WITHOUT committing the changes in foo, is there a way to save them "temporarily" without the need for them to appear in the commit history ?

git

    You can use git stashto upload the changes you haven't made committo, then move to another one branchand when you're done branchdoing what you had to do in that other one, you can go back to the branchoriginal and do git stash apply.

    The flow would be like this:

    • You are in branch developand you have no changescomiteados
    • git stash
    • git checkout master
    • You do what you have to do in master
    • git checkout develop
    • git stash apply
    • Everything remains developas if nothing had happened

  2. git stashIt is the utility that can help you the most for this task. Saying

    git stash -u

    The changes that you have not added to any commitwill be saved. Once this is done, you can switch from branch, etc.

    When you return to the branchoriginal, typing the following will have those files present again:

    git stash pop

    If you ever wonder what you have in your stash, you can type

    git stash list

    And you will have information of the type:

    stash@{0}: WIP on foo: 557af3e Moviendo archivos
stash@{1}: WIP on develop: 6d8d8e0 Actualizando drivers
