Stash

A place to hide modifications made to the workspace, while working on something else. (The stash area is not required in a “normal” workflow.)

Workspace

The local working area.

Staging Area

The "index"– or "staging area" – holds a snapshot of the content of the working area, and it is this snapshot that is taken as the contents of the next commit.

Local Repository

A local area under version control.
Typical branches:

master
dev (for local development)
feature_x
bugfix_y


Upstream Repository

Typically a remote area under version control. Default name is 'origin'.
Typical branches here:

master
shared_feature_x
release_y
