The difference between git stash apply and git stash pop is as follows:
-
git stash apply: This command applies the changes from a specified stash to your working directory but keeps the stash in the stash list. This is useful if you want to apply the same stashed changes to multiple branches. -
git stash pop: This command applies the changes from the most recent stash and then removes that stash from the stash list. It is commonly used when you are resuming work on the same branch and no longer need the stashed changes saved.
In summary, use apply when you want to keep the stash for future use, and use pop when you want to apply the changes and remove the stash.
