Isnt that what stash is for?

I don’t like stash for this purpose. What if I have to jump to a different branch a second time? Should I stash again?

It can be difficult to know which stash belongs to which branch. Nah, I rather just commit so I don’t need to bother with that confusion.

It can be difficult to know which stash belongs to which branch

you know, stash also has a message to it, and afaik it remembers what branch you were on when stashed
