I see here you can apply/unapply a stash and even create a new branch off of a stash. Is it possible to simply see what is inside the stash without actually applying it?

From man git-stash (which can also be obtained via git help stash):
The modifications stashed away by this command can be listed with
git stash list, inspected withgit stash show, and ...
show [<stash>] Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the stashed state and its original parent. When no <stash> is given, shows the latest one. By default, the command shows the diffstat, but it will accept any format known to git diff (e.g., git stash show -p stash@{1} to view the second most recent stash in patch form). Note: the -p option generates a patch, as per git-diff documentation.
List the stashes:
git stash list Show the files in the most recent stash:
git stash show Show the changes of the most recent stash:
git stash show -p Show the changes of the named stash:
git stash show -p stash@{1}
