Equivalent command for P4 shelve in GIT

Question

I have migrated from perforce to git . Earlier , in p4 , I could make the changes in my tree visible to others using p4 shelve. Everyone accessing the same p4 server were able to see my modifications . But now in GIT , I am looking for an equivalent command . I came across git stash but this enables changes to be visible only to me .

So , is there a way to make the local changes made by one user visible to everyone else in git ?

Answer 1

Yes. Make your commits on a topic branch, push it and then tell everyone to look at that branch.

See for example the chapter Branching Workflows in the Git Book.
