Recover a stash

Medve Emilian-EMMEDVE1· Oct 24, 2007, 17:26 UTC · lore

Hello,

Is there any way to recover a stash as a... stash? I accidently removed a stash I still need and I'd like to recover it as a stash. I can see the dangling commit objects in the database with git lost-found and I can have a branch/head point at them, but it's not understood as stash anymore.

Thank you, Emil.

You should be able to recover it with

	git update-ref refs/stash <commit>

Where the <commit> points to the merge commit of the stashed index and the stashed working directory.
