Git Stash Manager

git stash temporarily shelves changes you have made to your working copy so you can switch context — for example, pull the latest changes or jump to a different branch — without committing incomplete work. When you are ready, you apply the stash to restore your changes.

Both commands restore stashed changes to your working directory. The difference is that git stash pop also removes the stash entry from the list after applying it, while git stash apply leaves the entry in the list so you can apply it again or to multiple branches.

By default, git stash only saves tracked files (modified or staged). To include new untracked files use git stash push --include-untracked. To also include files listed in .gitignore, use git stash push --all.

Run git stash list to see all stash entries with their index numbers (stash@{0}, stash@{1}, etc.). Then use git stash apply stash@{N} or git stash pop stash@{N} to apply the specific entry you want. Use the stash index input at the top of this tool to update all command examples at once.

git stash branch <branch-name> stash@{N} creates a new branch starting from the commit at which the stash was originally created, checks out that branch, and applies the stash to it. If the apply succeeds, the stash is automatically dropped. This is useful when applying a stash would conflict with your current branch.
