Day 31: Stash Keeps What Status Won't Show, and Private Is a Flag, Not a Subnet

Both of today's tasks involved something real that the interface never mentions. Git keeps work in a place that git status will not tell you about. The RDS console wizard builds a resource on your behalf and never says it did. Neither is a bug, and both cost you time the first time you meet them.

One Git task, one AWS task. Park uncommitted work with stash and bring a specific entry back, then create a private MySQL RDS instance on the free tier. The tasks come from the KodeKloud Engineer platform.

Stash: the drawer that nothing points you to

Stash is for the moment when you are halfway through something and have to be somewhere else. A hotfix, a colleague's branch, a review. You do not want a commit that says "wip", so you park it.
