stash list

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 entry

The 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.

Exercise List stash entries

What is the index of the most recently created stash entry in git stash list output?
- stash@{1}
