Git cymbal refinement

Question

I installed GIT on my ubuntu server.

I have the habit of getting stuck in GIT too often for files that require more work.

So far, I have not encountered any problems related to embossing.

I would like to clarify whether it creates a cache if it has a lifetime, and it is removed or cleared after a few days. How safe are my changes in the dash.

And when making any other changes, there is a risk that the stamp will be deleted.

Answer 1

Since around git version 1.6.0, the cache does not expire. The list of changes in this version of git said:

By default, stash entries never expire. Set reflogexpire in [gc "refs/stash"] to a reasonable value to get traditional auto-expiration behaviour back 

So, if you want the expiration to expire, do as described above.

Answer 2

Written to git stash have links as local links, so they will adhere indefinitely (i.e. will not collect garbage).
