git stash apply version git stash apply version git git

git stash apply version


The keys into the stash are actually the stash@{n} items on the left. So try:

git stash apply stash@{0}

(note that in some shells you need to quote "stash@{0}", like zsh, fish and powershell).

Since version 2.11, it's pretty easy, you can use the N stack number instead of using stash@{n}. So now instead of using:

git stash apply "stash@{n}"

You can type:

git stash apply n

To get list of stashes:

git stash list

In fact stash@{0} is a revision in git that you can switch to... but git stash apply ... should figure out how to DTRT to apply it to your current location.


To apply a stash and remove it from the stash list, run:

git stash pop stash@{n}

To apply a stash and keep it in the stash cache, run:

git stash apply stash@{n}


Since version 2.11, it's pretty easy, you can use the N stack number instead of saying "stash@{n}".So now instead of using:

git stash apply "stash@{n}"

You can type:

git stash apply n

For example, in your list:

stash@{0}: WIP on design: f2c0c72... Adjust Password Recover Emailstash@{1}: WIP on design: f2c0c72... Adjust Password Recover Emailstash@{2}: WIP on design: eb65635... Email Adjuststash@{3}: WIP on design: eb65635... Email Adjust

If you want to apply stash@{1} you could type:

git stash apply 1

Otherwise, you can use it even if you have some changes in your directory since 1.7.5.1, but you must be sure the stash won't overwrite your working directory changes if it does you'll get an error:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:        filePlease commit your changes or stash them before you merge.

In versions prior to 1.7.5.1, it refused to work if there was a change in the working directory.


Git release notes:

The user always has to say "stash@{$N}" when naming a single element in the default location of the stash, i.e. reflogs in refs/stash. The "git stash" command learned to accept "git stash apply 4" as a short-hand for "git stash apply stash@{4}"

git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change the stash recorded
