Hi,

I've somewhere seen it in a mail, but I can't find it anymore. I have a bare central (public) repository and clones on various machines I work on. We all know it, you're right in the middle of something and it is really time to go home. You want to pick up your work at home, but without pushing to the shared repository.

I'm sure GIT can do this elegantly, but I'm not yet sure how. I guess Ideally I want "git stash" at work, transfer the stashed changes to my other machine and apply them. How do I do that?

Alternatively, I guess, one can commit at machine A, fetch the commit from machine A and continue. I'm still too uncertain about the remote access options to work this out properly, but it also feels less clean.

How do you deal with this?
	Thanks --- Jan
