Stash created outside application doesn't show up (i.e. not named !!GitHub_Desktop<branch>)

The feature request

Version:

3.3.15-beta1 (x64)

Suppose the following scenario:

• you have 10 files waiting to be committed
• you only want to stash 5 specific files, not possible from GitHub Desktop so you use Visual Studio Code
• the stash created is visible in Visual Code
• the stash created is not visible in GitHub Desktop

Example:

Created the stash in Visual Studio Code but it doesn't show up:

Now as I see the image, I realize there is !!GitHub_Desktop<branch>, renaming it works: 🥳

Proposed solution

Can the software show up stashes it didn't create itself?

and/or

Could selectively stashing files be possible from the software itself?

Thanks!

Thanks for the issue @aybe. This behavior is per-design, see #6107 for our reasoning around choosing this implementation.

I'm going to close this in favor of #12699 which is requesting a similar feature.
