Applying stashes

Applying a stash doesn’t remove it from the stack; you can see this if you execute git stash list:

stash@{0}: On master: Created temp directory stash@{1}: WIP on master: 870aea1 Merge branch 'xReadmeUpdates' stash@{2}: WIP on master: 870aea1 Merge branch 'xReadmeUpdates'

stash@{2} is still sitting at the bottom of the stack; Git simply applied the patch resulting from this change and left that stash on the stack. In just a bit, you’ll see how to remove elements from this stack.

Open up README.md in an editor and finish off that excellent line of documentation that you spent all night dreaming up:

## Contributing To contribute to this project, simply create a pull request on this repository and we’ll review it when we can.

Save your changes, and exit the editor. Now, you can stage and commit your manifesto, again using the stacking option of && in Bash to do it all on one line:

git add . && git commit -m "Updates readme"

#lazygit for the win, kids! Oh, but wait. You really did want to add that temp/.keep file after all. Fortunately, that change was stashed at the top of the stash stack, so you can use the pop operator to simultaneously apply the patch of that stash and remove it from the top of the stack:

git stash pop

Git gives you a nice status message, combining the output you might expect from git status along with a little note at the end telling you which stash was popped from the stack:

On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 18 commits. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) Changes to be committed: (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) new file: temp/.keep Dropped refs/stash@{0} (fca102bbfc2e4dc51264ae46211f95164ac2c933)

You’ve applied that patch on top of your working tree, and because Git stashed the tracking information as well as the state of the files in your working tree, those changes have already been staged for commit.
