Where is a legend for all the icons used in the Sourcetree file status list? (i.e. added, modified)
Asked by john van strien:


Answers:
author: Craig Eidson
body: I think Seth is referring to his post [Idiograms](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/Idiograms-what-do-they-mean/qaq-p/387090) \[sic\] which describes ideograms found within the program. Short answer, there is no legend. But you can use the tooltips when hovering over the icons. Not ideal because instead of learning about Source Tree you have to react to new icons when they appear then do a search and figure out what they each mean and how to respond.


author: john van strien
body: I have scoured this site and the rest of the internet, and found far too little information about the meaning of the several file status icons. NONE of the few answers that I found describe ALL the icons. All the answers combined do not describe all the icons.

Why has something so useful and simple to accomplish not been done? Why is it not in the Sourcetree Help system?

Yes, I realize that I paid $0 for Sourcetree and it is otherwise a very useful program.

comments: author: dbnex
body: I tend to agree. Why not having something so useful like "legend" showing these icons in Help menu or documentation is beyond me


author: Volodymyr Dhzychko
body: Agree


author: Seth
body: If you search this site, this has been asked and answered before. Some of the answers describe all the icons, but there is no official "legend" that has been published by Atlassian.
Connect SourceTree to VPS using SSH
Asked by apostolos_tovletoglou:

Hi, I have a VPS that I connect \& work over SSH. In this server I have a repository, cloned from GitHub.  
How I can connect with SourceTree on this machine, locate the git project and then work with SourceTree?

Many thanks,  
Apostolos


Answers:
author: Seth
body: SourceTree can not manage a repository over ssh.

The easiest way to manage a remote repo over ssh is to use the command line git tool (connect via SSH, then use git commands).

If you need a GUI, you can clone the repo locally, or install sourcetree remotely, or try to find another tool.

comments: author: apostolos_tovletoglou
body: Hi @Seth, thanks for the reply. Currently I work with putty + git commands but after I tried the SourceTree I become addicted (lazy addicted)!


author: apostolos_tovletoglou
body: Hi @Tim Crall, my workflow does not involve anything local except tools (IDEs, DB managers, etc.) The projects are on the remote server the tools work over SSH. It's a popular approach these days for web dev and there are many tools that direct you this way, like Vagrant (local VM but you work over SSH).  
It will be very nice to see a feature like this :smile:


author: rrudnicki
body: Hi Apostolos,

If you add a remote repo on your SourceTree should work, and you could work by command line accessing SourceTree Terminal.

Please take a look on these links:

comments: author: Seth
body: That allows him to work locally, but he can't use sourcetree or the local terminal to make his remote interact with its remote.

body: I've heard a lot of people having problems trying to use SourceTree with repos on network mounted drives - it's not possible to just clone your repo to your workstation and work on it there?

Prevent SourceTree from settings core.excludesfile
Asked by Nick Dancer:

I seem to be in a bit of an endless loop with configuring my git excludes file in SourceTree.

My global git config is kept in \`\~/.config/git/config\`. My global git ignore is stored next to the config file at \`\~/.config/git/ignore\`. This is the default value for core.excludesfile and as such is detected even when that settings is not defined in my config file.

The problem lies in the fact that SourceTree somewhat randomly will decide that my excludes file needs to be set. It then sets it to \`\~/.gitignore_global\`.

Just trying to understand if theres anything in particular i'm doing that is causing this to reoccur.


Answers:
author: childnode
body: First of all:

check your sourceTree global git config in preferences

Bildschirmfoto 2016-02-01 um 07.37.27.png

it's typically set to `~/.gitignore_global`. You might fix this manually and reset this to what is configured in `core.excludesfile`.

If you ask me: it's a bug that this is configured by default. While you can see, the new .config/git global ignore file was introduced in 1.9.x release (refer to[git-scm.com/docs/gitignore](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore)) it seems to be common practice from the past to [change this, like github documents it](https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/).

Unfortunatly another default setting will always reset this:

Bildschirmfoto 2016-02-01 um 07.45.42.png

check this and turn it off, I have much less problems without it too.

Feel free to check [back the issue tracker](https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?jql=project%20in%20%28srctree%2C%20srctreewin%29%20AND%20text%20~%20%22core.excludesfile%22) and file a bug request for this.

Is there a way to achieve fast-forward merge in SourceTree?
Asked by Jirong Hu:

As discussed in this post: <http://ariya.ofilabs.com/2013/09/fast-forward-git-merge.html>, if we still want to do fast-forward merge when possible, how to do that in SourceTree? I tried both merge in SourceTree and GitHub pull request from web, both shows non-ff merge in the graph.

Answers:
author: childnode
body: (in addition to @Tim Crall )

Check your global git settings in SourceTree. There is a flag called "use rebase instead of merge by default for tracked branches"

Bildschirmfoto 2016-02-01 um 07.52.16.png

This will typically auto-enable the checkbox below in the pull dialog/popup:

Bildschirmfoto 2016-02-01 um 07.51.13.png

turn off if you want to auto-detecting best (git default merge without options).

turn on the field above if you want to force a merge point, this is typically what you want when you close feature branches.

SourceTree BitBucket login fails with SSH and 2FA
Asked by James Barrow:

I recently setup SSH and 2FA login for my BitBucket account. I then updated my credentials in BitBucket and everything was fine. However after restarting my Mac this morning when I try to get the list of my BitBucket repos, I get an error response with the message of what looks like a login failure page in HTML text.

I am still able to use SSH to fetch, pull and push repos individually, but swapping to the "Remove" tab seems to constantly throw this error.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks. ![laugh](/html/@BEA1CC333F4D830F5303329D7DC07DE4/images/emoticons/laugh.png "laugh")


Answers:
author: Jeff Thomas
body: You're running into one of the known limitations of 2FA and SourceTree at the moment. Currently, SourceTree will use SSH to do most everything with Bitbucket except build a list of repositories. There is an open feature request [here](https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/11774/application-specific-passwords-or-tokens) to allow application specific passwords, this would allow SourceTree to use that set of credentials and get the list of repositories. Until then, you'll need to manually add the repositories into SourceTree.

This is explained in a bit more detail on the [Two-step verification](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Two-step+verification#Two-stepverification-Knownapplicationissues) documentation.

comments: author: James Barrow
body: Thanks for letting me know about this. This is a shame, but I understand the reasons. Hope that the feature request gets accepted and implemented soon. :smile:

How to commit files marked as unchanged ?
Asked by Anthony Breneliere:

I have the following issue after having used another tool that did not push the modifications to the distant repository.

I cannot commit my work in a distant repostory. I do have a lot of files that are marked as unchanged in my local repo, but they are modified. The last version of my project is in my local repository. There are also added/removed files in my local repository. I want to push all the modifications for the last month: how do I synchronize my local repository with the distant one ?

I would like to detect all changes in my local repository in order to commit changes.


Answers:
author: Anthony Breneliere
body: Yes in my cases indeed I am a GIT beginner. Well the problem seems to have disappeared. When I previously cloned the distant respository I did not see my changes. Now it seems all changes have been pushed to the distant repository.

comments: author: Seth
body: I recommend reading through the Git book, it'll really help you understand what to expect from the different operations. <https://git-scm.com/book>

Focus on 1.1 - 1.3 and chapters 2 and 3.


author: Seth
body: Sounds like you are a git beginner (welcome!). I'm not sure if you are using some of the terms accurately. Could you post a screenshot of your SourceTree log view so we can get a better idea of the current state of your repo? Feel free to obscure commit messages, usernames, etc, but leave branch names if you can.

Custom Field is not shown on a JQL Filter Option

we are missing a custom field on the jql in confluence, the column is shown but its empty. On Jira Cloud the content is shown.

Any thoughts/ideas?


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Jasmine Stermschegg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5308919) , to be clear you have a saved filter in Jira that you reference in a Confluence macro and you see that a custom field is blank in the Confluence macro but not when viewed in Jira, correct?

some questions/thoughts...

* please verify that you do not have two custom fields of the same name. I have seen this before.
* I assume you have verified this is the case on the same issue
* I wonder if you try removing the CF from the display and re-add
* it would be interesting to try a different filter, e.g. issue = abc-123 as a test

comments: author: Jasmine Stermschegg

I want to visualize relationship of issues in different projects
Asked by Stefannie Tan:

Hi! We have two separate projects by two teams. We have a limited budget so we cannot pay for Advanced Roadmaps functionality in Jira. But I still want to be able to visualize the relationship between the issues in both projects on one document.

Its a Confluence app that generates hierarchical views of Jira issues based on native Jira search (so you can be very nuanced in what issues are shown)
