stash-to-branch

A cli tool for git, which allows stashing and restoring changes to a branch

Usage

Installing

Install the tool globally

npm i stash-to-branch -g

Saving

Make some changes to your project, then stash them

stash-to-branch --save foo

After this, the original branch is clean and stashed-foo holds the changes, that you've made

Push the branch to origin

git push origin stashed-foo

Restoration

Make sure, that the stashed branch is available locally by pulling it from origin

git fetch

git checkout stashed-foo

git pull origin stashed-foo

Go to any branch, where you want to re-apply the changes from a stash and do a restore

stash-to-branch --restore foo

After this, the changes from stashed-foo are applied to your branch and you are ready to continue working with your code

Feel free to delete stashed-foo from local and remote, when you no longer need it

Arguments
