  1. Navigate to the repository directory using the command cd git-playground.
  2. List all stashes using the command git stash list. You should see the current stashes.
  3. Delete all stashes at once using the command git stash clear.
  4. Verify that all stashes have been deleted using the command git stash list.

The stashes you just deleted should no longer be there.

Summary

In this lab, you learned how to delete all stashes in a Git repository using the command git stash clear. This can be useful when you want to start fresh and remove all temporary changes that are not yet ready to be committed.
