From the git-stash documentation: A stash is by default listed as "WIP on branchname … ", but you can give a more descriptive message on the command line when you create one. WIP stands for work in progress.
WIP Commit - convention for calling a temporary commit that is meant to be a temporary save point during the lifetime of a user story. Feature Branch - convention for calling a git branch that is used specifically to work on one user feature story.
Developers mark a commit or branch as WIP to signify that the commits cannot stand on their own, that you should not check out a particular commit or revert to it and expect working code. Basically, to avoid stashing important changes that may not yet be finished, commit them to a WIP branch to store them away safely.
To retrieve changes out of the stash and apply them to the current branch you're on, you have two options: git stash apply STASH-NAME applies the changes and leaves a copy in the stash. git stash pop STASH-NAME applies the changes and removes the files from the stash.
