🚨 If You Already Popped or Dropped the Stash

If you've already run git stash pop or deleted the stash, you can try to recover it from reflog:

git reflog

Look for a line like:

stash@{0}: WIP on ...

or:

HEAD@{X}: stash: created ...

Then you can checkout or diff the stash commit:

git checkout <stash-commit-hash>

Or extract just the staged changes from it.
