+# Naming a `git stash` and re-applying it later 
+
+> Disclaimer: Not a git expert. 
+
+Helped out by this [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49559472) and the [`git stash docs`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash#Documentation/git-stash.txt-push-p--patch-k--no-keep-index-u--include-untracked-a--all-q--quiet-m--messageltmessagegt--ltpathspecgt82308203)
+
+## Name the code in your `git stash`
+
+`git stash push -m "message"`
+
+## See your stashes 
+
+`git stash list` 
+
+This command will output something like: 
+
+```
+stash@{0}: On develop: perf-spike
+stash@{1}: On develop: node v10
+```
+
+## Apply a stash
+
+`git stash apply {n}` 
+
+Where `n` corresponds to the integer in `stash@{n}` from your `git stash list` output. 
+
+## Delete a single stash 
+
+`git stash drop {n}` 
+
+## Delete all stashes 
+
+All means all. 
+
+`git stash clear` 
+
