This is the correct answer! Single line command to apply only stashed changes from specific files, works like a charm!

To apply (just) the stashed changes for the file: "git diff stash@{N}^1 stash@{N} -- <filename> | git apply"

This works for me too. Just selectively checkout the files needed to use from stash and you are done. I was stuck in this a I had used -a flag while creating the stash.

@4levels I think "apply stashed changes" is not what happens, right? I think "overwrite whatever you have with the copy from stash" is what happens.
