Solution

Stash current changes with a message, except new (untracked) files:

git stash push {{[-m|--message]}} {{stash_message}}

Stash current changes, including new untracked files:

git stash {{[-u|--include-untracked]}}

Interactively select parts of changed files for stashing:

git stash {{[-p|--patch]}}

List all stashes (shows stash name, related branch and message):

git stash list

Show the changes as a patch between the stash (default is stash@{0}) and the commit back when stash entry was first created:

git stash show {{[-p|--patch]}} {{stash@{0}}}

Apply a stash (default is the latest, named stash@{0}):

git stash apply {{optional_stash_name_or_commit}}

Drop or apply a stash (default is stash@{0}) and remove it from the stash list if applying doesn't cause conflicts:

git stash pop {{optional_stash_name}}

Drop all stashes:

git stash clear
