gitgit-stash

How to "git diff" the working tree to the stash?

How can I see the changes un-stashing will make to the current working tree? I would like to know what changes will be made before applying them!

Solution

  • See the most recent stash:

    git stash show -p

    See an arbitrary stash:

    git stash show -p stash@{1}

    From the git stash manpages:

    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).
