Modified unrelated files on a specific branch. How to push those files to master branch?

Question

I made a branch for a particular feature. And I had to fix some bugs and forgot I was in that branch. Now I want to push those files with bugs fixed to the master branch and leave the files related to the feature alone in the branch. What should I do?

have you committed those changes as separated commit, different from other changes in the branch? — max630, Jul 08 '17 at 02:51

You can do this by "stashing" your changes. This allows you to store your changes (without a commit), change branches, and then pop them out.

git stash
git checkout the_other_branch
git stash pop

Once this is done, you can continue editing or commit them as normal.
