How would I extract a single file (or changes to a file) from a git stash?

Question

I\'d like to know if it is possible to extract a single file or diff of a file from a git stash without popping the stash changeset off.

Might anyone be able to prov

Answer 1

If you use git stash apply rather than git stash pop, it will apply the stash to your working tree but still keep the stash.

With this done, you can add/commit the file that you want and then reset the remaining changes.
