Well stash does not save untracked files, only staged and
not-yet-staged changes to *tracked* files. I suspect untracked files
are equally important to you.
But the following should work (sort of tested). Note the "git bundle
create" line in particular -- I'm new enough to git to be quite proud
of that one :-)
# better way to stash
git commit -m wip-index-state
git add -A && git commit -m wip-worktree-state
git branch -f stashed
# make sure you don't actually have a branch called "stashed"!!
# save all your local modifications that are NOT also in some
# remote branch; this will catch that "stashed" branch also
git bundle create /tmp/sos.bdl --all --not --remotes
# copy that file wherever you want, however you want...
# (example:)
rsync /tmp/sos.bdl bkphost:
git checkout stashed
git reset --mixed HEAD^
git reset --soft HEAD^
