- Generate meaningful git stash names from your changes. Use when stashing work.
# Stash Namer
Stop naming stashes "WIP" or leaving them unnamed. This reads your changes and creates a meaningful stash name.
**One command. Zero config. Just works.**
## Quick Start
```bash
npx ai-stash-name
```
## What It Does
- Reads your staged and unstaged changes
- Generates a descriptive stash name
- Actually runs git stash with the name
- No more mystery stashes
## Usage Examples
```bash
# Stash with auto-generated name
npx ai-stash-name
# Preview without stashing
npx ai-stash-name --dry-run
```
## Best Practices
- **Stash early, stash often** - it's free
- **Name them well** - future you will thank you
- **Don't hoard stashes** - apply or drop them
- **Pop, don't apply** - unless you need to keep it
## When to Use This
- Switching contexts quickly
- Saving work before pulling
- Experimenting with changes
- Any time you'd use git stash

## How It Works
Runs git diff to see your changes, sends the diff summary to GPT-4o-mini to generate a descriptive name, then runs git stash push -m with that name.
