Git stash twice

I had to quickly switch git branches, so I ran git stash, but I had to run it again because one of my files needed editing.

So I've run git stash twice, and I'm ready to go back to editing my files. I ran git stash apply but I'm not convinced that all of the files I had stashed were unstashed. Is there anything I can do? Any way to check?

When I run git stash show, I just see the last of my two git stashes.

Is there anyway to show all git stashes?

Solution

  • You can get a list of all stashes with

    git stash list

    which will show you something like

    stash@{0}: WIP on dev: 1f6f8bb Commit message A
stash@{1}: WIP on master: 50cf63b Commit message B

    If you made two stashes, then just call git stash pop twice. As opposed to git stash apply, pop applies and removes the latest stash.

    You can also reference a specific stash, e.g.

    git stash show stash@{1}

    or 

    git stash apply stash@{1}
