stashes are found in the reflog of this reference and can be named using
the usual reflog syntax (e.g. `stash@\{0}` is the most recently
created stash, `stash@\{1}` is the one before it, `stash@\{2.hours.ago}`

-save [--keep-index] [<message>]::

Save your local modifications to a new 'stash', and run `git reset

+ --hard` to revert them. The <message> part is optional and gives
+ the description along with the stashed state. For quickly making
+ a snapshot, you can omit _both_ "save" and <message>, but giving
+ only <message> does not trigger this action to prevent a misspelled
+ subcommand from making an unwanted stash.
+
If the `--keep-index` option is used, all changes already added to the
index are left intact.
++
+If the `--include-untracked` option is used, all untracked files are also
+stashed and then cleaned up with `git clean`, leaving the working directory
+in a very clean state. If the `--all` option is used instead then the
+ignored files are stashed and cleaned in addition to the untracked files.
++
+With `--patch`, you can interactively select hunks from the diff
+between HEAD and the working tree to be stashed. The stash entry is
+constructed such that its index state is the same as the index state
+of your repository, and its worktree contains only the changes you
+selected interactively. The selected changes are then rolled back
+from your worktree. See the ``Interactive Mode'' section of
+linkgit:git-add[1] to learn how to operate the `\--patch` mode.
++
+The `--patch` option implies `--keep-index`. You can use
+`--no-keep-index` to override this.

show [<stash>]::
Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the
stashed state and its original parent. When no `<stash>` is given,
shows the latest one. By default, the command shows the diffstat, but
- it will accept any format known to 'git-diff' (e.g., `git stash show

-apply [--index] [<stash>]::
+pop [--index] [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]::
- Restore the changes recorded in the stash on top of the current
- working tree state. When no `<stash>` is given, applies the latest
- one. The working directory must match the index.
+ Remove a single stashed state from the stash list and apply it

+Applying the state can fail with conflicts; in this case, it is not
+removed from the stash list. You need to resolve the conflicts by hand
+and call `git stash drop` manually afterwards.
+
If the `--index` option is used, then tries to reinstate not only the working
tree's changes, but also the index's ones. However, this can fail, when you
have conflicts (which are stored in the index, where you therefore can no
longer apply the changes as they were originally).
++
+When no `<stash>` is given, `stash@\{0}` is assumed, otherwise `<stash>` must
+be a reference of the form `stash@\{<revision>}`.
+
+apply [--index] [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]::
+
+ Like `pop`, but do not remove the state from the stash list. Unlike `pop`,
+ `<stash>` may be any commit that looks like a commit created by
+ `stash save` or `stash create`.
branch <branchname> [<stash>]::
Creates and checks out a new branch named `<branchname>` starting from
the commit at which the `<stash>` was originally created, applies the
