git-stash

Not quite sure what's happened, but git stash seems to be in a bad place. % git stash list stash@{0}: filter-branch: rewrite stash@{1}: filter-branch: rewrite stash@{2}: On mysolr: start mysolr stuff Is OK, and git show stash@{0} works fine. But: % git stash drop '' is not a stash reference % git stash pop '' is not a stash reference % git stash drop stash@{0} 'stash@{0}' is not a stash reference I've used git stash plenty in the past and not come across this. I had recently rewritten history to remove a file from history before publishing to github. The command I ran then was git filter

Is my stash stack pushed to the remote repo ? Or is it completely ignored? I'm just curious if I should tend to it every once in a while to drop some of it to save space on the server. No. Stashes are local. $ man git stash : Use git stash when you want to record the current state of the working directory and the index, but want to go back to a clean working directory. The command saves your local modifications away reverts the working directory to match the HEAD commit. I wouldn't keep too many of them around locally though. You'll lose track of them over time and they'll become somewhat

I'm on a branch with some changes. Changing branch is a pain as some files are locked by processes, so to change branch I'd have to stop all the processes which have locks, then stash the changes before checking out the other branch to see its log. Is it possible to view the log for a different branch, without having to check it out? TL; DR Use git log <branch> where <branch> is the name of the branch of interest. From the git-log man-page... A simplified version of the git-log synopsis given in that command's man page is git log [<revision range>] Further down, you can find the following

So here's what happened: I was on a branch 'A' and did a Git stash on that branch. Then I switched to another branch 'B'. I navigated back to Branch 'A' but did not do a Git stash pop. I switched to the master branch and then back to branch 'A'. I am trying to go a git stash pop now but cant seem to get my changes back.. I need to recover that code but whenever I do a git stash pop, my file changes are not listed. I did not commit any code. Is there a way to recover the changes that I made? would really appreciate any help in this regards. Stashes should be viewable via git stash list or gitk

I have been wanting to use a git command that saves a stash without modifying my working tree, as a lightweight backup that's safe from any git resets or whatever I might do to screw up my index. Basically the functional equivalent of "git stash save && git stash apply" except that the working copy is never touched, since this can make certain text editors/IDE's cranky. Something like this is approaching what I want, but not quite: git update-ref refs/stash `git stash create "Stash message"` This works functionally, but the issue I'm having is that no stash message shows up in "git stash list"

I ♥ git stash -p . But sometimes, after a satisfying session of y , n , and s , I get this: Saved working directory and index state WIP on foo: 9794c1a lorum ipsum error: patch failed: spec/models/thing_spec.rb:65 error: spec/models/thing_spec.rb: patch does not apply Cannot remove worktree changes Why? git stash -p should fail less with Git 2.17 (Q2 2018). Before that, " git add -p " (which shares logic with git stash ) has been lazy in coalescing split patches before passing the result to underlying " git apply ", leading to corner case bugs; the logic to prepare the patch to be applied

If I work on branch A and suddenly need to work on branch B before being ready with a commit on branch A, I stash my changes on A, checkout B, do my work there, then checkout A and apply the stash. If I work on A and I want to stop working for the day, should I stash my work and then apply it the next day, when I resume my work, or should I just leave things as they are - uncommitted modified files in the working directory. I don't see why I would need to use stash in this case, except if there is some security benefit. Also, another scenario - I work both at work and at home. If I am not

In git, I stash away my changes. Is it possible that I can create a patch with what I stash away? And the apply that patch in some other repository (my co-worker's)? I know 'git format-patch -1' but I think that is for what I have committed. But I am looking for the same thing for changes I stashed away? And how can I apply a patch in other repository? Greg Hewgill Sure, git stash show supports this: git stash show -p This answer provides info about both saving the patch and applying it where you want to use it. To stash the output in a file: git stash show -p --color=never > my-patch-name

Is there a way I can stash just my staged changes? The scenario I'm having issues with is when I've worked on several bugs at a given time, and have several unstaged changes. I'd like to be able to stage these files individually, create my .patch files, and stash them away until the code is approved. This way, when it's approved I can stash my entire (current) session, pop that bug and push the code. Am I going about this the wrong way? Am I misunderstanding how git can work in other ways to simplify my process? Bartłomiej Semańczyk Yes, It's possible with DOUBLE STASH , belief or not, Stage
