Selective Git Stashing

April 23, 2026

Ever found yourself in a situation where you've made a dozen changes but only want to set aside a few of them while you switch branches? Instead of stashing everything and digging through it later, use git stash push followed by the specific file paths. It keeps your stash clean and ensures you aren't accidentally carrying over half-finished experiments into your next task. It is a small habit that saves a lot of mental overhead when managing complex feature branches.
