Delete a Stash

Introduction §

This tutorial guides you through the process of deleting a stash in Lazygit. This action is useful when you want to clean up your stash list by removing entries that are no longer needed.

Lazygit §

1. Open Lazygit and navigate to the 5. Stash panel.

2. Use the ↓/↑ keys to browse through your stash entries.

3. Select the stash entry you want to delete.

4. Press the d key to initiate the deletion of the selected stash.

5. A confirmation prompt will appear. Press enter to confirm the deletion.

   • Add#screenshot showing the stash selection and deletion confirmation prompt.

6. Upon confirmation, the selected stash will be permanently deleted from the stash list.

   • Add#screenshot of the stash list after deletion.

Basic Terminal §

To delete a stash entry in the terminal:

1. List your stashes to find the one you want to delete:

   git stash list

2. Delete the specific stash (replace stash@{n} with the correct stash identifier):

   git stash drop stash@{n}

3. Verify the deletion:

   • Run git stash list again to ensure the stash has been removed.

This terminal method offers a direct way to manage your stash entries, complementing the Lazygit approach.
