[git] How to Git stash pop specific stash in 1.8.3?

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?

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).

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

Version 2.11+ use the following:

git stash list

git stash apply n

n is the number stash@{12}

As Robert pointed out, quotation marks might do the trick for you:

git stash pop stash@"{1}"

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}

You need to escape the braces:

git stash pop stash@\{1\}

On Windows Powershell I run this:

git stash apply "stash@{1}"

I have 2.22 installed and this worked..

git stash pop --index 1

If none of the above work, quotation marks around the stash itself might work for you:

git stash pop "stash@{0}"
