New favorite git feature.

While I'm a relatively new user of git, I'm certainly getting used to it and it's way of doing things. While it's not perfect, it is much better than some of the alternatives for SCM.

So, my new favorite feature?

git stash

Say I'm working on a long running, low-priority change for a client, when they call with something more urgent. Stash let's me do just that, stash all my current changes that haven't been commited, and work on the new requirement. Once I'm done and the client has signed off on the high-priority item, I can jump right back into the low-priority task via 'git stash pop'<br/><br/>
Certainly I could do the same thing via a branch, but stash is a lot simpler and quicker.
