Clean working tree before update

In this area, specify the method to save your changes while cleaning your working tree before update. The changes will be restored after the update is completed. The available options are:

Using Stash: choose this option to have the changes saved in a Git stash, so you can apply patches with stashed changed even outside IntelliJ IDEA, because they are generated by Git itself.

Using Shelve: choose this option to have the changes saved on a shelf. Shelving is a IntelliJ IDEA internal operation, patches generated from shelved changes are normally applied (unshelved) inside IntelliJ IDEA. Applying shelved changes outside IntelliJ IDEA is also possible but requires additional steps.
