Git - Stashing

You have the following stashes:

stash@{0}: WIP on feature A
stash@{1}: Bug fix
stash@{2}: Update README

Which command sequence will safely delete all stashes except the most recent one?

Agit stash clear && git stash apply stash@{0}

Bgit stash drop stash@{1} && git stash drop stash@{1}

Cgit stash drop stash@{2} && git stash drop stash@{1}

Dgit stash drop stash@{0} && git stash drop stash@{1}

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand stash indexing
Stashes are indexed from 0 (most recent) upwards.
Step 2: Drop older stashes carefully
Dropping stash@{1} removes 'Bug fix'. After this, 'Update README' moves to stash@{1}.
Step 3: Drop the next older stash
Dropping stash@{1} again removes 'Update README'. The most recent stash (stash@{0}) remains.
Final Answer:
git stash drop stash@{1} && git stash drop stash@{1} -> Option B
Quick Check:
Drop older stashes from higher index down [OK]

Quick Trick: Drop higher-index stashes first to keep recent [OK]
