<![CDATA[How Do You Handle Uncommitted Changes? Git Stash]]>I am running into a frustrating situation while managing my project, and I don't know how you all handle this.

So, I am working directly with my VPS server to update some files in a Git repository. I have made several important changes to the code, but I am not quite ready to commit them yet. Before finish, I suddenly have to switch branches to apply an urgent bug fix from a colleague.

My main issue is :

  • I can not commit to my unfinished work because it is not fully tested.
  • During switching branches, Git is not allowed to proceed due to uncommitted changes.
  • I didn’t want to manually copy my changes and risk losing anything in the process.

After some research, I found Git stash. It seemed like the right solution, but I was a bit hesitant. If I stashed my changes on the VPS, will they still be there after a system reboot? Would another user accessing the VPS mess up my stash?

You can always:

git diff > changes.patch

then store the file somewhere and after all you done just

git apply changes.patch

But rather learn the tools you are given 🙂 git stash works.

will they still be there after a system reboot

Yes git stashed are saved on the disk.
