        Git Stashing: Complete Notes
      </h1>

        <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold">1️⃣ What is Git Stashing?</h2>
        <p class="mt-2">
          Git stashing temporarily saves uncommitted changes without committing
          them. This allows you to switch branches or pull updates without
          losing progress.
        </p>
        <p>
          When you stash changes, Git stores them in a separate stack (stash
          list), allowing you to reapply them later.
        </p>
