If you have some changes on your workspace and you want to stash them into a new branch use this command:

git stash branch branchName

It will make:

a new branch

move changes to this branch

and remove latest stash (Like: git stash pop)

Since you ve already stashed your changes  all you need is this one-liner   git stash branch  lt branchname gt    lt stash gt    From the docs  https   www kernel org pub software scm git docs git-stash html    Creates and checks out a new branch named  lt branchname gt  starting from the commit at which the  lt stash gt  was originally created  applies the changes recorded in  lt stash gt  to the new working tree and index  If that succeeds  and  lt stash gt  is a reference of the form stash   lt revision gt    it then drops the  lt stash gt   When no  lt stash gt  is given  applies the latest one  This is useful if the branch on which you ran git stash save has changed enough that git stash apply fails due to conflicts  Since the stash is applied on top of the commit that was HEAD at the time git stash was run  it restores the originally stashed state with no conflicts
