Git Stash

Posted on March 10, 2009, under GIT.

Currently, I am working on few files and when you do a git pull, you may sometimes get a message as follows:

error: Entry 'app/views/alerts/index.rhtml' not uptodate. Cannot merge.

So you know, somebody has updated the code and you do need to commit the file so that the file can be merged and for some reason I don’t want to commit till i finish the work. This is where git stash comes into play. from your root of the app, do the following command

1
2
3
git stash 
git pull
git stash apply #Apply your changes
