Show untracked files in stash

[tjwelde]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes I stash a bunch of untracked files, to get them out of the way. When viewing such a stash in lazygit, I unfortunately can't see, if there are untracked ones and what they contain.

Describe the solution you'd like If I click on a stash, it could change to a view of indexed and untracked files, like I can do on commits.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative would be to just display the diff in the Stash view on the right.

Do you know of a flag that can be passed to the git command on the command line that would enable this behaviour?

[tjwelde]

yes. git show stash@{0}^3

[tjwelde]

if you only want to have the filename: git show stash@{0}^3 --pretty='' --name-only

As of recently (Git 2.32, released on May 2021), a --include-untracked/-u flag can be used to include untracked files as documented in this StackOverflow answer.

It also mentions that you can specify this flag by default with the stash.showIncludeUntracked property which you can set in your Git config:

git config --global stash.showIncludeUntracked true

EDIT: This doesn't appear to affect the list of files from viewing a stash entry though

EDIT (again): Enabling debug mode eventually pointed me to this line which is used to retrieve the files changed:

I would also like to be able to see untracked files in stash window. Especially if you have a feature to stash untracked files, they otherwise become invisible.

@veremenko-y does it not show up even with stash.showIncludeUntracked set to true?

Nope...

# cat ~/.gitconfig
...
[stash]
    showIncludeUntracked = true
