Name a Git stash

Published on: Sunday, 22.02.2026

Git stash can be quite handy, and using names when stashing changes can help organize and track them more easily.

Here's how it can be done:

git stash push -m "your-stash-message"

To see the list of all of your stashes (named and unnamed), use: git stash list
From there, you can use git stash apply or git stash pop to retrieve your stash.
Note: apply doesn't remove the stash, while pop removes it from the list.
