Is it possible to preview stash contents in git?

Question

I often put work away for later, then other stuff comes along, and a few weeks later, I want to inspect the stash, and find out what changes it would make if I applied it to

Answer 1

In additional to the existing answers which suggests using (to show the diff of the third-to-last stash)

git stash show -p stash@{2}

Note that in the git-stash documentation, it is written that

Stashes may also be referenced by specifying just the stash index (e.g. the integer n is equivalent to stash@{n}).

Therefore it's also possible to use (this is equivalent to the command above)

git stash show -p 2

Which should also avoid some Powershell issues.
