Learn to view saved stashes with stash list.
Stash stack and listing
When you stash multiple times, each new entry is pushed onto a stack. You use the git stash list command to inspect the entries in this stack. Entries are listed from newest to oldest with indexes such as stash@{0} and stash@{1}.
git stash list
# stash@{0}: On main: second entry
# stash@{1}: On main: first entryThe newest entry at the top of the stack always receives index zero.
Inspecting stash contents: git stash show
To see which files were modified by a stash entry, run git stash show. You can specify an index to inspect a specific entry: git stash show stash@{1}. To view the line-by-line diff patch, append the -p flag.
git stash show
git stash show -p stash@{0}This lets you safely verify what code was saved before restoring it.
Practice List stash entries
Display the created temporary stash entry using the git stash list command.
