Hi,

Thank you for the feedback!

That's a great point. Using "git checkout -m" is indeed more convenient
when the user wants to carry their changes over to the new branch, as it
merges the local modifications into the new branch in a single step
rather than requiring stash, checkout, and unstash separately.

I will update the advice message to mention "git checkout -m" as the
primary suggestion when the intent is to carry changes over, and keep
git stash push/pop as an alternative for when the user wants to
temporarily set changes aside.

Will send a v2 shortly.
