# Stash A Single Untracked File
|
|
|
|
If you want to stash everything in your work tree and untracked files, you can
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git stash -u
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want a bit more control over what gets stashed from the work tree, you
|
|
can interactively stash with `--patch` (or `-p`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git stash -p
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the two don't work together.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git stash -u -p
|
|
Can't use --patch and --include-untracked or --all at the same time
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
So, if you'd like to stash a specific untracked file, you can instead formulate
|
|
a command like the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git stash -u -- <name-of-untracked-file>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will stash just the specified untracked file and leave the rest of them as
|
|
they are.
|
|
|
|
I found this useful when trying to test the setup of a new library. There was
|
|
an extra new file that I didn't think I needed. Stashing it temporarily gets it
|
|
out of the way without losing it.
