+For quickly making a snapshot, you can omit "push". In this mode,
+non-option arguments are not allowed to prevent a misspelled
+subcommand from making an unwanted stash. The two exceptions to this
+are `stash -p` which acts as alias for `stash push -p` and pathspecs,
+which are allowed after a double hyphen `--` for disambiguation.
++
+When pathspec is given to 'git stash push', the new stash records the
+modified states only for the files that match the pathspec. The index
+entries and working tree files are then rolled back to the state in
+HEAD only for these files, too, leaving files that do not match the
+pathspec intact.
+
If the `--keep-index` option is used, all changes already added to the
index are left intact.
