How to unstash only certain files?

Question

I stashed my changes. Now I want to unstash only some files from the stash. How can I do this?

Answer 1

First list all the stashes

git stash list

↓

stash@{0}: WIP on Produktkonfigurator: 132c06a5 Cursor bei glyphicon plus und close zu zeigende Hand ändern
stash@{1}: WIP on Produktkonfigurator: 132c06a5 Cursor bei glyphicon plus und close zu zeigende Hand ändern
stash@{2}: WIP on master: 7e450c81 Merge branch 'Offlineseite'

Then show which files are in the stash (lets pick stash 1):

git stash show 1 --name-only

//Hint: you can also write
//git stash show stash@{1} --name-only

↓

 ajax/product.php
 ajax/productPrice.php
 errors/Company/js/offlineMain.phtml
 errors/Company/mage.php
 errors/Company/page.phtml
 js/konfigurator/konfigurator.js

Then apply the file you like to:

git checkout stash@{1} -- 

or whole folder:

git checkout stash@{1} /errors

---

It also works without -- but it is recommended to use them. See this post.

It is also conventional to recognize a double hyphen as a signal to stop option interpretation and treat all following arguments literally.
