We configure our diff visual tool using diff.tool=xxx and then running git difftool to see a visual diff. You can see a stash using git stash show - but how can you see the stash visually like you can with diff?

Just use the stash's name. For example, the following works for me:
git diff branch stash@{0}

Thanks, that works. (replace diff with difftool to get the visual diff) – Marcus Leon Aug 28 '16 at 12:44

@ObjectNameDisplay: Is your branch really named "branch"? – choroba Jul 31 '18 at 19:56

@ObjectNameDisplay: So use the name of the actual branch instead of `branch`. – choroba Aug 01 '18 at 07:18

I found: `git diff stash@{0}` works quite well for the current branch. – will Sep 23 '21 at 03:39
