How to Git stash pop specific stash in 1 8 3

Question

I just upgraded Git  I m on Git version 1 8 3   This morning I tried to unstash a change 1 deep in the stack   I ran git stash pop stash  1  and got this error      fatal  ambiguous argument  stash 1   unknown revision or path not in   the working tree        Use  --  to separate paths from revisions  like this         git        --          I ve tried about 20  variations on this as well as using apply instead of pop with no success  What s changed  Anyone else encounter this

As Robert pointed out  quotation marks might do the trick for you   git stash pop stash   1

User · Answer

If none of the above work  quotation marks around the stash itself might work for you   git stash pop  stash  0

First check the list -  git stash list   copy the index you wanted to pop from the stash list  git stash pop stash  index number    eg    git stash pop stash  1

If you want to be sure to not have to deal with quotes for the syntax stash  x   use Git 2 11  Q4 2016   See commit a56c8f5  24 Oct 2016  by Aaron M Watson  watsona4    Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 9fa1f90  31 Oct 2016        stash  allow stashes to be referenced by index only      Instead of referencing  stash  n   explicitly  make it possible to   simply reference as  n     Most users only reference stashes by their position in the stash stack  what I refer to as the  index  here        The syntax for the typical stash  stash  n   is slightly annoying and   easy to forget  and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a   script       Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by   simply referencing the index is desirable    So   git stash drop 1 git stash pop 1 git stash apply 1 git stash show 1

git stash apply n   works as of git version 2 11  Original answer  possibly helping to debug issues with the older syntax involving shell escapes   As pointed out previously  the curly braces may require escaping or quoting depending on your OS  shell  etc   See  stash  1  is ambiguous   for some detailed hints of what may be going wrong  and how to work around it in various shells and platforms   git stash list git stash apply stash  n    git stash apply version
