+# My Takeaway from GitHub 101
+
+I wasn't aware of the difference between stashing and committing. Learning those two different functions and when to use them is quite helpful.
+
+**Stashing** lets you temporarily save changes without creating a commit — useful when you need to switch branches quickly but aren't ready to commit yet.
+
+**Committing** is a permanent snapshot of your work with a message explaining what changed.
+
+Understanding when to use each one makes the Git workflow much clearer!
