Which Git GUI can show list of files inside stash?

Question

It was very easy in Sourcetree but this tool is not available on Linux

Solution 1

gitk shows the content of your stash:

$ gitk --all&

Since both the index and the working tree are saved in stash, you see both, and the diff looks a bit different than what you might be used to.

---

$ git stash show -p

shows the stash content on the command line. If you have several stashes, you can specify the stash name, e.g. stash@{3}.

Solution 2

I tried several GUIs without success, though I may have missed some options:

• gitk (check my comment in the other answer)
• git gui
• giggle
• gitkraken

The ones which worked fine:

• gitg (show the stash by default at the top of other commits)
• tig with "tig stash" (text UI but very handy)

Solution 3

Git Cola has a dedicated stash viewer (Alt+Shift+S by default).

menu view->everything shows the stashes also.

This is not working: on my repository, this shows only the last entry, and in the middle of thousands of other non-stash entries, so this would take me hour to find out it out if I do not know in advance the exact name of the commit. It is not even possible to filter the entries with "stash" keyword

@calandoa: I assumed the stash was recent and in the vicinity of the checked out commit. See if my edit better fits your need.

@calandoa: You can find the latest stash easily using "File" > "List references" > Click "stash".

@calandoa: The possibility of showing all the stashes instead of just the last [stash] entry is being studied link, backup link; if you really thrive at it you can even apply a patch yourself using this gist. Apologies the state is kind of early alpha, but it mostly would work OK.

It's tricky now, but if in huge need gitk can be tweaked to show all stashes, see the comment history of the other answer.
