# Stashing Untracked Files
|
|
|
|
Normally when stashing changes, using `git stash`, git is only going to
|
|
stash changes to *tracked* files. If there are any new files in your project
|
|
that aren't being tracked by git, they will just be left lying around.
|
|
|
|
You might not want these *untracked* files left behind, polluting your
|
|
working copy. Perhaps these files change your projects functionality or
|
|
affect the outcome of tests. You just want them out of the way, for the
|
|
moment at least.
|
|
|
|
And so along comes the `-u` or `--untracked` flag.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ touch new_file.rb
|
|
$ git stash
|
|
No local changes to stash
|
|
$ git stash -u
|
|
Saved working directory and index state WIP ...
|
|
```
