Constructor Details

#initialize(base, message, existing: false)

Initialize a Stash object

When existing is false (the default), immediately calls #save to push the current working-directory state onto the stash stack.

Examples:

Create a new stash entry

stash = Git::Stash.new(repo, 'WIP: feature work')
stash.saved?  #=> true

Reference an existing stash without pushing

stash = Git::Stash.new(repo, 'WIP: feature work', existing: true)
stash.saved?  #=> nil

Parameters:

  • base (Git::Repository) —

    the git repository

  • message (String) —

    the stash message

  • existing (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    (false) when true, wraps an existing stash entry without pushing any changes
