What is git stash and how does it work?

Git stash saves uncommitted changes temporarily, cleans your directory for branch switches. Pop it back with git stash pop—no data loss.

Is git cherry-pick safe for teams?

Yes, it copies a single commit to another branch without merging everything. Perfect for hotfixes, keeps history linear.

No—only local commits. Pushed amends force rewrites; use revert instead to avoid team drama.

Everyone stops at git push. But the real Git power lies in stash, amend, and cherry-pick—tools that turn chaos into control, if you know they exist.
