Answer 1

You can simply use git stash, which will store away your change to the local working tree. Then do your things, and when you're done, git stash pop to get things back. See the documentation about stashing.

This is exactly what stashing is designed for.

2. Check whatever you want, fix if needed, and commit
3. Use git stash pop to return your changes to the working directory.
