git stash

Are you going to cover git stash?
This allows you to stash away local changes on a temporary basis leaving the working tree clean so you can switch branches and work on that urgent bug fix etc.

Hey Martin;

I sure am. Still working on where to stash it (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun) though. It seems to fit with git branch because that’s when you use it the most, but it feels kind of awkward in that chapter. Any suggestions for where you would put it?

Hmm, Perhaps if there was a Git Workflows chapter either before Chapter 9 or Chapter 10, it could be covered here.

Workflows might include some nice workflow diagrams and would include such roles as ‘lone developer’ , ‘teammate developer’, ‘team lead developer’, ‘release engineer’ etc.

Me too!! I really want to see different ideas for workflows, repository layouts, branching patterns, etc. The “tribal” knowledge that never gets covered well in docs. Even better, interview maintainers of a few larger projects to get tips from the trenches. Go Travis, we all need this knowledge!
