stash

git stash moves all the data that are tracked to the stash
git stash --include-untracked moves the data in the working area as well
git stash apply <index> moves the stashed items back to the working area

restore

to undo changes in a particular file: git reset HEAD <filename>
to also discard the changes in the working area, a hard reset will not help
git restore <filename> does that
git checkout HEAD <filename> also does that, but note that this is very destructive

hunks

suppose a few lines were added/changed in a file
using git add --patch <filename> stages the changes as a hunk
it can be further split it into smaller hunks selecting the s option
so, individual changes can be reviewed
