Before I reinvent the wheel...

I would like to be able to store snapshots of individual files without making a commit on the main branch. The scenario is that I've written some experimental code that I have decided not to keep as part of the main project, but which I might want to refer back to some day. Is there any easy way of doing that in git?

Thanks, rg
