What is git stash | stash memory in GIT

The `git stash` command is used to temporarily save changes that you have made to your working directory and staging area, so that you can switch to a different branch or perform other tasks without committing those changes. It essentially "stashes away" your uncommitted changes and allows you to return to them later.

Here’s a quick rundown of how to use `git stash`:

1. *Save Changes:*
- Run `git stash` to save your local changes. This will stash both staged and unstaged changes.
- You can also use `git stash push -m "message"` to include a descriptive message with the stash.

2. *View Stashes:*
- To see a list of stashes, use `git stash list`.

3. *Apply a Stash:*
- Use `git stash apply` to reapply the most recent stash to your working directory.
- To apply a specific stash from the list, use `git stash apply stash@{n}`, where `n` is the index of the stash in the list.

4. *Drop a Stash:*
- After you’ve applied a stash, you may want to remove it from the stash list using `git stash drop stash@{n}`.

5. *Pop a Stash:*
- You can use `git stash pop` to apply the most recent stash and then immediately remove it from the stash list.

6. *Clear All Stashes:*
- If you want to remove all stashes, use `git stash clear`.

Stashing is particularly useful when you need to quickly switch branches but have uncommitted changes that you’re not ready to commit yet.
