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 the stashed files need to merge with the current version so use the previous ways using diff. Otherwise you might use git pop for unstashing them, git add fileWantToKeep for staging your file, and do a git stash save --keep-index, for stashing everything except what is on stage. Remember that the difference of this way with the previous ones is that it "pops" the file from stash. The previous answers keep it git checkout stash@{0} -- so it goes according to your needs.
