git diff for a single file in stash

Question

I know from this answer how to show the diff against a stash.

git stash show -p stash@{1}

But how can I show the diff to a specific file from a stash?

You can also use `git diff stash@{1}` – Jeff Learman Feb 22 '19 at 18:12 — Jeff Learman, Feb 22 '19 at 18:12

You can use the diff command with a path:

git diff stash@{1} -- <path>

It looks like you don't need the `--`. i.e. the following works for me: `git diff stash@{1} ` – Paul Masri-Stone Nov 28 '22 at 13:40
