git stash changes apply to new branch?

Question

I was working on the master branch, made some changes and then stashed them. Now, my master is at HEAD.

But now, I want to retrieve these changes but to a new branch which branches from the HEAD version of the master branch.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Is the standard procedure not working?

• make changes
• git stash save
• git branch xxx HEAD
• git checkout xxx
• git stash pop

Shorter:

• make changes
• git stash
• git checkout -b xxx
• git stash pop
