Stasher is a Visual Studio Code extension for managing Git stashes from the Activity Bar without dropping to the terminal. It gives you a visual workflow for creating, browsing, updating, comparing, and restoring stashes directly inside VS Code.
Features
Create named or unnamed stashes from the sidebar
Partially stash selected files from your working tree
Browse existing stashes and inspect the files inside them
Apply, pop, rename, or delete stashes
Create a branch from a stash
Add more files into an existing stash
Compare stashes and view per-file diffs
Export a stash as a .patch file
Unstash specific files or apply selected hunks
Views
Stasher adds an Activity Bar container with two views:
Working Changes: shows the current repository changes and supports checkbox-based partial stashing
Stashes: lists available stashes and the files contained in each stash
Requirements
VS Code 1.85.0 or newer
Git available on your system
A workspace folder opened in VS Code that is backed by Git
Common Actions
Use the Stasher sidebar to:
Create Stash
Partial Stash...
Quick Stash
Apply Stash
Pop Stash
Create Branch from Stash...

Most actions are available from the view toolbar or from item context menus in the tree.
Development
npm install

Helpful scripts:
npm run build builds the extension with esbuild
