When to use git stash apply?

You should use git stash apply in the following scenarios:

1. Multiple Branches: When you want to apply the same stashed changes to different branches without removing the stash from the stash list.

2. Review Changes: If you want to review the stashed changes before deciding to keep or discard them.

3. Selective Application: When you want to apply a specific stash from the stash list (e.g., git stash apply stash@{1}) without affecting the other stashes.

4. Preserve Stash: If you want to keep the stash for future use after applying it to your current working directory.

Using git stash apply allows you to maintain flexibility with your stashed changes.
