GITHUB NEW UPDATE:

This is PART-2 in this series- In this article, I perform 5 basic commands using VSCode and give a command snippet below

1. Push a local branch in visual studio code

Pushing a local branch to GitHub in visual studio code is the easiest way to publish the changes button.

"command"

      git push origin local_branch_name

     E.X: git push origin new_branch

4. Stash a code in visual studio code

What is Stash?

You need some temporary space, where you can store your partial changes and later on commit them.

In Git, the stash operation takes your modified tracked files, stages changes, and saves them on a stack of unfinished changes that you can reapply at any time.

"command"

    git stash push -m <stash-message>

    E.X: git stash push -m "stash part-2"

Apply stash for recent changes Press ctrl+shift+p and select Git:Stash

5. Stash apply in visual studio code

What is Stash Apply?

If you want to keep the changes in the stash as well, you can use git stash apply instead.

Apply stash for recent changes Press ctrl+shift+p and select Git:Apply Stash

"command"

    git stash apply <stash_id>

    E.X: git stash apply stash@{2}
