Stash selected files with Git Extensions

Question

Is there a way with Git Extensions to only stash some of the uncommitted files?

Say I have three files changed in the working dir (uncommitted) but I only want to stash 2 of them. FYI It doesn't seem to matter whether the uncommitted files are staged or not - when I use stash, they all get stashed.

Answer 1

In command line, you would:

• add to the index the files you don't want to stash
• do a git stash save --keep-index, as mention in this answer or this one.

Since issue 479 of GitExtensions, you should be able to do the same, since there should be a checkbox to the stash form which appends '--keep-index' to the 'stash save' command.

Answer 2

Pretty old question, but in the latest version of GIT Extensions, the "Manage Stashes" window accessible from the Commands menu has 2 buttons.

• Stash All Changes
• Stash Selected Changes

The second one does the job. Pretty obvious in retrospect.

Answer 3

To add files to stash in GitExtensions: in the top menu click:

• Commands

• Stash changes

To retrieve stash using GitExtensions, use the same menu, which will now contain a history of stash, select the file(s) you want to retrieve and then click 'Apply Selected'
