| Sometimes that "quick" refactor takes longer than I was planning for. Then it's nice to commit changes to a temporary "dirty" feature branch just to have an off-laptop backup and change history. I use this method for storing a bunch of trash commits on a feature branch and then lifting them back over to master when I want to continue work / clean up. | |
| # Check out the branch you want to start working from | |
| git checkout master | |
| # Check out the dirty "refactor" branch as staged changes | |
| git checkout refactor -- . | |
| # Reset will unstage the changes | |
| git reset | |
| Time to clean up! |

This is a handy workflow tip. Is it possible to get similar behaviour with submodules?
