藏匿差异，在源代码树中停止跟踪

Question

Just wondering the difference between stop tracking and stash in GIT. I am using source tree as the tool. So is that possible to revert back when stash or stop tracking later point of time if needed.

What would be the best option if I want to hide the changes temporarily till I commit and pull the latest from remote and then add those changes.

Thanks

Stash is the right way to go. You don't really want to stop tracking your files, right? You just want to temporarily put your changes aside, and then restore them - this is what Stash is designed to do.

You mentioned that after git stash you still see uncommitted changes. One way this can happen is if you are stashing changes in .gitignore . For example: Suppose you add a file called 1.txt to your working directory, and then you add the line 1.txt to .gitignore . Now, the uncommitted changes only include the change in .gitignore , and not the 1.txt . After running git stash , this will stash changes in .gitignore and now you will see 1.txt appearing again as uncommitted change.
