git stash pop

The git stash pop command is used to restore the most recently stashed changes and deletes the stash. It applies the changes from the top stash and removes it from the stash list.

By default, git stash pop restores both the working directory and the index to the state they were in when the stash was created. If conflicts arise during merging the changes, the command stops and informs about the conflicts, which need to be manually resolved.

In addition to applying the stash and deleting it, git stash pop also removes the changes from the stash list. This can be useful if the stash is no longer needed after applying it to the working directory.

There are other variations of the git stash pop command, such as:

• git stash pop stash@{<index>}: Applies the specified stash at the given index and removes it from the stash list.
• git stash pop --keep-index: Applies the stash but does not restore changes to the index, allowing for manual selection of changes to stage.
• git stash pop --index: Applies the stash to the index as well as the working directory.

It is important to note that the git stash pop command modifies the working directory and potentially the index, so it is recommended to review the changes and resolve any conflicts before running it.
