Feature Request: Ability to snapshot to stash while keeping the index and working tree exactly the same

[shabbir-genetech]

This is for situations where your code is in a good state, but you're not ready to commit yet. You want to take a 'snapshot' and save it to the stash in case you need to return to that state after making other changes. Some Git clients and tools already offer this feature. It’s already possible to do this manually by stashing with 'include untracked' and without 'only staged,' then applying the created stash. However, I’d prefer a quicker, one-click button on the toolbar to handle it.

Do you mean this?

No, I already use that for the 'manual' process to achieve what I'm requesting. The 'Keep staged files' doesn't do what I'm asking for either as it removes the non-staged changes from the working tree. I'm thinking an icon perhaps next to that one to take a 1-click snapshot to stash while keeping the working tree and index exactly the same.

According to my test, if you only check the Include untracked files and click OK, it will save the content of the current workspace to Stash. If you need to recover, you can enter the Stashes page to select Pop or Apply. It would not delete your changes, but transfer your changes to Stash. Do you mean after stash, keep the unstaged changes?

[shabbir-genetech]

Yes, I mean doing all of the following with 1-click:

1. Stash including untracked
2. Apply the stash that was just created.

Seems good from the screenshot. Hopefully it gets merged soon.
