Here is the situation:
I have an untracked file in my repository. I'd like to stash this file using git stash
and I'd like to name the stash myself. So I found out about git stash save "message"
, but it seems that this command doesn't work for untracked files. So I need to first run git stash -u
then rename the stash.
Is there any workaround for this issue? if this can be considered an issue. Can I stash the untracked files and simultaneously naming them myself in one command?
I am aware of other possibilities such as first staging using git add
then using git stash save "message"
and as I mentioned earlier it's also possible to first run git stash -u
then rename the stash, but I'm looking for one liner command to stash and name my untracked changes and let's say I don't wanna stage or commit my changes.
This can be done by simply running the following command
git stash save -u "your message or the name of the stash"
This command is presented on the man page.
