Github desktop: Do i lose stashed changes if i commit other changes?

Question

I use Github desktop and I have a few changes stashed but i need to commit other changes as a quick fix before working more on stashed. Restoring stashed and applying the quick fix on top won't work as code changed radically in stashed.

Do i lose stashed changes if i commit other changes before ?

No, you would not. But for safety, try doing a small demo. – Pankaj Gaikar Oct 27 '20 at 09:17 — Pankaj Gaikar, Oct 27 '20 at 09:17

No, you should not loose what has been stashed.

You can double-check that with git stash list in command-line, both before and after you have committed your current work.

@NorbertNagy It is a good occasion to try it: you can launch it from GitHub Desktop: https://stackoverflow.com/q/52496770/6309 – VonC Oct 27 '20 at 07:21
