Introduction

In Git, a stash is a way to save changes that are not yet ready to be committed. It allows you to temporarily save your work and switch to another branch or commit without losing any changes. When you're ready to continue working on your changes, you can apply the stash to your working directory. In this challenge, you will learn how to apply the latest stash to your Git repository.

Apply the Latest Stash

You are working on a project in your Git repository and have made some changes that are not yet ready to be committed. However, you need to switch to another branch or commit to work on a different feature. You don't want to lose your changes, so you decide to stash them. Later, when you're ready to continue working on your changes, you need to apply the latest stash to your working directory.

Tasks

To apply the latest stash to your Git repository, follow these steps:

1. List of your stashes. You should see one stash in the list.
2. Apply the latest stash to your working directory.
3. Check the README.md file to see that your changes have been applied.

This is the result of running the cat README.md command:

This command reapplies the changes from the lastest saved save to the current working directory, and adds the new line "This is a new line" to the README.md file.

In this challenge, you learned how to apply the latest stash to your Git repository. Stashing your changes allows you to temporarily save your work and switch to another branch or commit without losing any changes.
