From the man git-stash
page:
The modifications stashed away by this command can be listed with git stash list, inspected with git stash show
show [<stash>] Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the stashed state and its original parent. When no <stash> is given, shows the latest one. By default,the command shows the diffstat, but it will accept any format known to git diff
(e.g., git stash show -p stash@{1} to view the second most recent stash in patch form).
To list the stashed modifications
git stash list
output :-
stash@{0}: WIP on ...
stash@{1}: ...
stash@{2}: ...
...
To show files changed in the last stash
git stash show
This will show you the files that changed in your most recent stash. You can add the -p
option to show the diff. So, to view the content of the most recent stash, run
git stash show -p
To view the content of an arbitrary stash, run something like
git stash show -p stash@{1}
