git stash apply

The git stash apply command is used to apply the most recent stash to the working directory. Stashing is a way to save changes that are not ready to be committed yet but need to be set aside temporarily. When you apply a stash, the changes are reapplied to the working directory and index, allowing you to continue working on them.

This command is particularly useful when you have multiple stashes and want to apply the most recent one. If you have multiple stashes and want to apply a specific stash, you can use the git stash apply <stash> command, where <stash> is the unique identifier of the stash.

Other variations include:

• git stash apply --index: Applies the most recent stash as well as the index state.
• git stash apply --quiet: Applies the stash silently without showing any output.
• git stash apply --3: Applies the stash with the identifier 3, where 3 is the unique identifier of the stash.
