Share and recover your Git stashes with ease
Git version 2.511
was released some week ago and is packed with upgrades to its plumbing and
performance, with better indexes for some packfiles, noticeably improved
fetch/push speed, deprecation2 of whatchanged and promotion
of switch and restore out of experimental status (though checkout is not
going anywhere).
Yet, to the diphasic3 end-user, the unassuming highlight of this release is the ability to share your stashes through your remote: let's check it out!
Redirection 101: the very basics

The signature of the shell-illiterate
Reproducible, isolated demonstrations
Earlier this week, I put together installation instructions for a syntax support package for Vim.
I have an idea how these things work and I'm fairly confident that -u NONE

Script-friendliest $EDITOR with moreutils
I carry around a (very humble) collection of fzf utilities, where I intend to leverage a tacit promise

right there in the terminal, between two commands, and be done earlier than a
corporate IDE would be
flashing its splash screen1.
But let's put aside the speed: I mean to talk about the availability and convenience.
With moreutils,
this elevator pitch needs to be challenged: between
two commands? Laughable. The adept functional
programmer in me should
have sniffed it out some time ago: I can use Vim like I use sed.
