Some Files Disappeared After Git Stash

Question

I'm working on directory. I've made some modifications since my last commit. And i want to ignore all this modifications (which after my last commit) . In shortly, i want to turn back my last commit . I've accidentally execute wrong command and i have execute this:

git stash
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: 46dbc13 Ayarlar activity geri butonu
HEAD is now at 46dbc13 Ayarlar activity geri butonu

After this, most of my files (my all image files) gone away. But they were exist in my last commit (#46dbc13). They are deleted after my stash. I have no idea. I have executed git stash apply but nothing changed.

Can you tell me what's happening ?

Answer 1

git stash is a mechanism to "put your changes aside". I see it used most frequently when you're in the middle of writing new functionality but have to switch to something of a higher priority.

If you'd like to see a list of your stashes, you can go with git stash list and see something similar to the following:

git stash list
stash@{0}: WIP on master: 46dbc13 Ayarlar activity geri butonu

If you would like to apply your changes, you're going to have to either go with one of the two following commands:

Pop: this will pop the top stash off your stack

git stash pop

'Apply': this will apply a given stash. If your git stash list has just the single stash (like is given above), you can use this. If you have multiple stashes, you will need to apply the specific stash you wish to apply.

git stash apply stash@{0}
