`git stash pop` not merging
Raw
foo.md

If you’re trying to pop a stash and Git won’t merge for you because you have changes in your index to the same file(s) (Git needs to use the index to do a merge at all), i.e.:

❯ gsp
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
	index.html
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

(In this example, my index contains changes to index.html, but so does the stash I’m trying to pop.)

A workaround is:

git add .; git commit -m "temp"; git stash pop; git reset --soft HEAD^
