Un-commit large file that generates error upon push
Asked by Raina Armstrong:

I'm new to Git and am not a developer, but I've recently started using Sourcetree and Git for version control. I accidentally committed a new file that exceeds 100MB. Now every time I try to push, I get an error message:

myfilename.mp4 exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00MB.

I don't mind that I can't push that change to the repo, but there are other changes I do need to push and this error is preventing me from doing so. I want to go back as if I never committed the large file to the repo, but still commit all my other changes. Is it possible to do this?

Is there an MSI-type installer available for SourceTree 2.1 and above
Asked by Test_Sourcetree:

All the new source are available as Click once and user based installation which is quite difficult to deploy over large number of machines. Is there any MSI available which we can customize according to the user requirement and deployment ease?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Kumiko! Currently, there's no MSI-type installer available. The team announced that they're working on creating *an MSI for Sourcetree for Windows. As a standard MSI this will be compatible with systems management software such as System Center Configuration Manager, support silent installs, and allow the administrator to choose the installation folder. We don't have an ETA for this yet* *.*

We're tracking feedback for this feature at [SRCTREEWIN-6935](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-6935). Feel free to vote for it or add your comment, you can also watch the ticket to receive further updates.

How to complete source tree setup Non-Internet environment.
Asked by kg6memo:

I can not finish source tree setup because authentication error occured in the non-internet environment.

How can I complete source tree setup in the non-internet environment?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi! Offline installation for SourceTree it's not possible at the moment. The team has officially announced a proposal for the Windows application and its usage, but this is not available yet.

Currently, every user needs to register the product using an Atlassian account, which requires an Internet connection. Atlassian account allows users to easily accept Atlassian's Customer Agreement and ensures that SourceTree is distributed with respect to US Export Control laws.

We are tracking direct feedback on this specific request at [SRCTREE-3593](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-3593). Please feel free to add your feedback and specifics to your team's needs.

Sourcetree keeps asking password after installing version 2.7 in Mac 10.13.2
Asked by shalinasanga:

when try to clone repo from latest source tree (2.7) in mac high sierra(10.13.2) keep asking password even i entered right one , its not cloning.

```
repo path as is this?
```

    https://username@host.com/path/to/repo

Things work perfectly before the update !!! after several attempts of entering password it says "not a valid repository"  
Any solution ?


Answers:

body: completely removing source tree and installing it again seems to be working. until that i used VS for mac source control


author: Scott Yelich
body: I didn't read all the comments -- if this has already been said, I apologize for the duplication.

MY assumption of what's going on here is that somehow the sourcetree internal git is fubared in some way. Let's say internal is 2.15.1 -- but my system one is 2.15.1. Somehow, they are not behaving the same with regards to at least authentication.

Again, this is an **assumption** here, and I will test with the next set of sourcetree updates, but**I think when an update or a certain level of update for sourcetree comes out -- the setting for which git to use gets cleared or (re)set to internal git.** THIS CAUSES ME ALL KINDS OF GRIEF.

In the comments here, there are posts that say that the command line git works. This is and always has been the case for me. **I "resolve" the sourcetree shenanigans by going to the preferences for git and selecting to use the system git (even if it's the same version).**

This has resolved the issue of sourcetree repeatedly asking me for my password and having the input of a valid password not working. I did not erase passwords in keychain, unlock keychain, save to keychain, use command line once, uninstall or re-install sourcetree -- I just changed the git to command line git (and restarted sourcetree just because).

YMMV. Good luck.

Can not install Source Tree
Asked by Brian Cavanaugh:

I downloaded source tree (SourceTreeSetup-2.4.7.0.exe) for Windows 10. When I run the installer I choose to use an existing account. When I use my email address I get an error about loggin in, single sign-on and SAML. I just need to connect to our local git/bitbucket repository. What can I do? I seems that I do have an Atlassian account and can see it at: <https://my.atlassian.com/product>

The installer will not progress past this point.

Thanks,  
Brian

Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Brian! So are you getting this error right when you're trying to log in to your Atlassian account during installation, or when you try to connect your Bitbucket repo?

To start with, please confirm if you have the latest version of Internet Explorer, as Sourcetree relies on it for authentication. After that, please try the following:

* Turn off compatibility mode in IE. To do that, open Internet Explorer, go to the *Advanced options* tab and click on *Reset your Internet Explorer Settings*
* Check *Delete personal settings*
* Change your Internet Explorer Security Zone Settings:

1. Open IE, click on the gear
2. Select "Internet Options"
3. Select the "Security" tab
4. Select "Custom Level" for Internet
5. Find "Access data sources across domains" and select "Enable" (make note of what the setting currently is)
6. Try logging into Sourcetree again

After logging in, follow steps 1-5, but ***reset the setting back to the previous option***.

Let us know if this worked for you!

Best regards,

Ana

Can't log in to SourceTree during install
Asked by waywardworlds:

I'm trying to reinstall SourceTree after it became corrupted by a previous "update". It was working fine for several months before that.

I uninstalled the program and cleared everything from AppData/Atlassian, and downloaded the newest version of the installer (2.4.7).

I try to log in with my email address on the "Use an existing account" page, but nothing happens when the button is pressed, with no feedback on what is wrong.

![sourcetree-broken.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12516i4A5F91ED5F8B08AF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "sourcetree-broken.PNG")

The "Go to My Atlassian" also doesn't work. It opens my browser, takes me to the Atlassian login page, and I can log in there, it takes me to my product licenses page, and then.... nothing happens then either. Am I supposed to download something or press a button from there? No feedback given about what I'm meant to do.

I see some answers about needing to use IE to log in, but this is a false. I was able to log in the first time I installed it using Chrome with no problems at all. I followed these instructions (<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/Unable-to-login-to-atlassian-account-while-configuring-source/qaq-p/693009>) anyway, which solved nothing.

I see so many similar issues around logging in/authentication while searching for an answer. This program is Big Rigs level of broken... \>_\>

I'm on Windows 7.

Build status in SourceTree is just a load of grey circles
Asked by alnorth:

I've just updated SourceTree and it's got the new integration that shows Bitbucket Pipelines status next to each commit. This is a really cool idea and I'm looking forward to using it.

However, on every repo we have that uses pipelines all I see is a series of grey dots where the build status should be. These are all commits that have been pushed and successfully built: <https://www.dropbox.com/s/uhw2iwhsh83ru4w/Screenshot%202018-01-12%2009.20.17.png?dl=0>.

Is there some extra config step I need to take?


Answers:
author: bgannin
body: Hi Alasdair,

My apologies for the delay. There aren't any additional steps... you just need to have a config file present and we'll take it from there.

The first thing to check is if you are properly authenticated with Bitbucket Cloud. The easiest way to do this is to open the Repository Browser and go to the Remotes tab. If these start loading you're good to go but if not you'll be prompted to authenticate again.

Once you know authentication is working the next thing to try is to reload the statuses manually using the menu item (Refresh) or keyboard shortcut (Cmd+R)

If this doesn't work I'd suggest checking for a cache in \~/Library/Caches/Sourcetree/, deleting it when the app is closed, and then repeating these steps.

Rest assured we're currently investigating some cases that could cause authentication to get out of sync as other as other improvements for Pipelines in Sourcetree for the next update.

Very long line of text in source file causing Sourcetree (Win) v2.4.7.0 crash
Asked by rotan_hanrahan:

I updated a HTML file and included a data URL (base64 of an image) that resulted in a text line with about 10,000 characters. Nothing wrong with this, and browsers are OK with it, but Sourcetree crashes when this update is present. Maybe a problem with the diff window or some other processing.

The length of a line, no matter how big, should not crash Sourcetree. Maybe put ellipses into the display if the text is too long for the window.

Reproducible: If I open ST before inserting the long line, ST is fine. Paste the long line into the file, then select the diff window in ST and it immediately crashes. After some experiments, I discovered that a line of 9,581 characters was OK, but anything above that crashes ST. So there's an arbitrary limit being exceeded somewhere.


Answers:
author: Mike Corsaro
body: Hello! Could you reply back with the Bugsplat crash ID so I can further debug? Thanks.

comments: author: rotan_hanrahan
body: A few minutes ago I inserted a random big line of text into one of my source files to generate a fresh BugSplat. The dialog box that pops up doesn't include a "crash ID". So, I put "For Mike Corsaro" at the start of the description, if that'll help you find it.


author: Mike Corsaro
body: Got it -- thanks. Looks like this is part of a known bug that has already been patched in the development branch. The fix should be released in the next week or so. Thanks!


author: rotan_hanrahan
body: Interestingly, this time the line was way over 20k before the crash happened.

Inconsistent "Finish Feature" behavior in deleting remote branch
Asked by Praveen Gavvala:

Hi, we have created a feature branch and used the Git-Flow --\>"Finish Feature" functionality to commit changes from local SourceTree repository to remote GitHub repository with "Delete branch - After finishing" option but the behavior is inconsistent.

Formatting of plain text outputs from table transformer
Asked by Green_ Desmond:

How do I better format text coming from a table transformer macro, where the results are in plain text?

With a table transformer macro returning plain text, my page is structured as per the below.

![Query as text formatting.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/295774i7BE530696BA50A71/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Query as text formatting.JPG")

The plain text from the table transformer gets displayed on a new line and I seem to have little control over the formatting of this text.

![Query as text formatting 2.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/295773i7C17DE2627749157/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Query as text formatting 2.JPG")

There is static text 'Hybrid' with a H3 heading, to which I probably want to postfix a date, in the same format, coming from a table transformer. To be clear, I might like to format the text as follows:

Hybrid 28/11/2023 {#toc-hId--409708305}
---------------------------------------

The same is true of the next column, 'Cloud' plus date.

How do I get more control over the formatting of plain text from the table transformer?


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Green_ Desmond](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5367657) ,

I think we've already had questions where you changed font size, here is an example: <https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/advanced-table-cells-formatting-58426218.html#Advancedtablecellsformatting-?hangingfontsize,style>

So, you'll be able to make your text bigger.

To place a macro on the same level as your heading is not possible, so the workaround may be to put the description inside your SQL query as well.

For example,

SELECT CONCAT("Hybrid ", FORMATDATE(MAX('Date'))) AS 'Max Date'  
FROM T1

will give me

Hybrid 03 Nov 2023

Now you'll be able to set a bigger font for the whole phrase.

![Thu 12-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/295824iBD2457F387B985B2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 12-3.png")

SELECT  
FORMATWIKI("{cell:font-size=50px\|font-weight=bold}", CONCAT("Hybrid ", FORMATDATE(MAX('Date'))), "{cell}")  
AS ''  
FROM T1

comments: author: Green_ Desmond
body: Yes, the problem may be that in this case I don't want another table or cell, as it is already just some text I want to show in the top row of an existing table, effectively as the table header (and formatted appropriately). Otherwise, I end up with another table/cell where really I don't want one. It doesn't look so good!

![formatted header.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/295914i920A7BB734114B31/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "formatted header.JPG")

So, I have set the table transformer to return plain text, as I mentioned. So that doesn't allow formatting of that output, possibly unsurprisingly.


author: Stiltsoft support
body: Yes, you are correct - the plain text means exactly as it is: simple "paragraph" Confluence text.

So, no other workarounds from our side, unfortunately.

Questions regarding Confluence use
Asked by Celia Fern?ndez Guerrero:

Hi!  
I have some questions regarding how the Confluence pages work, could you help me please?

1. Is there a way to be notified when a page has not been seen and / or updated for a specific time (i.e. we want to know if a page has not been seen or updated in the last 3 years)?
   1. In case the previous is possible, who would be the notified person? The page creator, the last person who updated it..?
   2. If the notified person is not part of the company anymore, can it be changed? Can we specify whoever we want to be notified? How?
2. If we archive a space, are its pages also archived automatically?

Thank you so much in advance.

   There may be a way to do this via Automation for Confluence but I haven't dug deeply into that yet.  

   Using the 3rd party solution, you can specify who the communication is sent to (Space Admins vs Page Owner/Modifier)
2. Archiving a Space also archives its contents.

To get notified about content changes to a page, add yourself to the Watchers list, by clicking the Watch (EYE) icon.   

Yes, pages get archived when a space is archived. But only for that specific version (if the space has been versioned).
