Git: Apply changes from branch as unstaged changes on other branch
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Sometimes that "quick" refactor takes longer than I was planning for. Then it's nice to commit changes to a temporary "dirty" feature branch just to have an off-laptop backup and change history. I use this method for storing a bunch of trash commits on a feature branch and then lifting them back over to master when I want to continue work / clean up.
# Check out the branch you want to start working from
git checkout master
# Check out the dirty "refactor" branch as staged changes
git checkout refactor -- .
# Reset will unstage the changes
git reset
Time to clean up!

This is a handy workflow tip. Is it possible to get similar behaviour with submodules?
