Set work aside with a stash

Save uncommitted changes under a name, get a clean working tree, and bring the changes back later: all of them, or one file at a time.

In short

  • A stash keeps your uncommitted changes, new files included, and leaves the branch clean.
  • Every file in a stash shows its diff before you restore anything.
  • Restore one file, restore everything, or restore and delete the stash.

Step by step

  1. Stash your changes

    Click Stash in the toolbar, give it a name if you like, and click Stash changes.

  2. Do what you needed a clean branch for

    Switch branches, pull, or fix whatever needs attention.

  3. Review the stash

    Open Stashes and select one. Each saved file shows its diff.

  4. Bring the changes back

    Restore file or Restore & edit brings back one file. Restore all keeps the stash, and Restore all & delete removes it once everything restored cleanly.

Good to know

  • Overwrite checkIf a file you restore also has local changes, RepoBeam asks before replacing them.
  • ConflictsIf restoring clashes with commits made since, the conflict resolver opens and the stash is kept.
