Stash only certain files

If you want to stash only specific files, do the following:

1. Stage the files you don't want to stash

2. And the following command:

   git stash save --keep-index

For example

# On branch develop
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#   modified:   fileA
#   modified:   fileB
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#   modified:   fileC
#   modified:   fileD

git stash save --keep-index 

This will result on fileA and fileB stashed and fileC and fileD not touched
