I'm in VSCode and just made a ton of changes on my branch. I have a rough draft that would be a shame to lose due to to not backing up online. So naturally it would be smart to git add . my changes, then git push origin myBranch to create a remote backup.

But doing so will remove all my file diffs that Visual Studio Code's interface shows me in the sidebar (see picture below). Is there a way I can push to a remote branch but still keep the changes unstaged (or bring them back to unstaged), or any way to at least keep those diff files so I can still continue work on my local and easily be able to see everywhere that I touched?

CodePudding user response：

what will you push if you don't have any changes?

simple solution will be . keep a copy all the files that you have made changes, then undo changes.

later you can refer to the changes from copied files

CodePudding user response：

save your work by using git stash. after pushing committed changes then you can call uncommitted changes as git stash pop. see the documentation here
