Using git stash -u, but, as title, when there are conflicts untracked files are gone.
This is a link, for example: https://www.databasesandlife.com/git-stash-loses-untracked-files/
And this is a reproduction of the bug
# Create a Git repo with a single file committed git init echo contents > original-file.txt git add original-file.txt git commit -m "Creating the file"
# Create a new file, modify an old one, stash echo foo > new-file.txt echo contents2 > original-file.txt git stash push -u
# Modify the old file in a different way, commit echo contents3 > original-file.txt git commit -am "Altering the file"
# Apply the stash, see conflict, but what about the new file? git stash pop cat new-file.txt
Git version, on Linux: 2.34.1
Thank you
