Drop all stashes associated with a particular branch
git
Solution
What about this? It's a quick and dirty way that drops the stashes created on a given branch.
It simply lists all stashes, searches with grep for the stashes created on a branch, gets its stash name and finally passes those names `git stash drop` through xargs.
git stash list | grep -E 'stash@{[0-9]+}.+ YOUR_BRANCH_NAME' | cut -d ':' -f 1 | xargs git stash drop
Edit
Digging in the man pages, it says the `git stash list` also accepts `git log` format options. So we tell it to print lines that only match `YOUR_BRANCHNAME`, and of those lines to just print its "reflag identity name" (`%gd: shortened reflag selector, e.g., stash@{1}`, from the man page). Then, we pass the output to `xargs` to drop the stash.
git stash list --grep='YOUR_BRANCHNAME' --format='%gd' | xargs git stash drop
Problem
I'm in the habit of stashing my changes in git and applying them again with `git stash apply`. This has the advantage of keeping me from accidentally losing a stash I made, but it also means that my list of stashes grows rather quickly. When I'm done with a branch, I go back through my stash list and manually remove all of the stashes associated with the branch. Is there a way to do this in a single command? For example, my current stash list looks like this: ``` kevin@localhost:~/my/dev/work$ git stash list stash@{0}: WIP on master: 346f844 Commit comment stash@{1}: WIP on second_issues: a2f63e5 Commit comment stash@{2}: WIP on second_issues: c1c96a9 Commit comment stash@{3}: WIP on second_issues: d3c7949 Commit comment stash@{4}: WIP on second_issues: d3c7949 Commit comment stash@{5}: WIP on second_issues: d3c7949 Commit comment stash@{6}: WIP on second_issues: 9964898 Commit comment ``` Is there a command that would drop all of the stashes from `second_issues`?
