How is it possible to switch branches in Git without needing to stash local modifications?

edit

Git allows you to switch branches without stashing local modifications by committing the changes to the current branch, checking out the new branch, and then cherry-picking the commit that contains the changes.

1. Commit changes to the current branch: git add . git commit -m "commit message"
2. Switch to new branch: git checkout new_branch
3. Cherry-pick the commit that contains the changes: git cherry-pick commit_ID

4. If there are merge conflicts, resolve them and commit the changes. Otherwise, continue working on the new branch with the changes intact:

   git add .
   git commit -m "merged changes from previous branch"
