Dropping stash in Git permanently removes stashed changes from the stash list when they are no longer needed or relevant. As the creator of CoreUI with over 25 years of experience managing complex development workflows, I’ve used stash drop extensively for maintaining clean stash lists and preventing confusion from outdated changes. From my expertise, the most straightforward approach is using git stash drop to remove specific stashes by their index reference. This command provides essential stash list maintenance for keeping development workflows organized and efficient.
