Hipster Git Commands: Git Stache

Posted by Derick Bailey on July 27, 2011

We’re all familiar with ‘git stash’ – the ability to store changes in a special working folder without committing them to the repository.

Well… thanks to a tweet by Jimmy Bogard, we now have the hipster version:

and here’s how to make it work:

# put this in your ~/.gitconfig file

  stache = !echo "You probably didnt want those files, anyway..." && echo && git stash $@

enjoy your hipster git command :)

    I also replied to Jimmy’s tweet with the “git stache” alias that I created a few weeks ago: stache = !git add -A && git stash
