I would like to stash only the changes in the current folder and its subfolders.

How can I achieve that?

I have tried the obvious approach - git stash . but it doesn't seem to work.

I know I can create temporary commits and delete them afterward, but I want to know if git stash supports stashing specific folders.

git stash push -- path/to/folder

Does the trick for me.
