where is the legend to identify branch in sourcetree
Asked by Matthew Wilkinson:

Is there a legend somewhere to clarify what the purple line relates to? I find I get confused knowing which branch is which. I have only been using SourceTree for a few weeks so I am probably missing something.

body: I've seen other git clients show a branch name next to each commit. The Bitbucket website does this also. But after you've done a few merges they ALL give up on doing that.

On the rare occassion that I know in advance I will need 10+ branches being worked on simultaneously and will rarely be merged, I get into the habit of prefixing my commit messages with the branch name.

The GitKraken program allows you to show/hide 1 or more branches like you would with layers in a Photoshop document. Sourcetree can only show/hide all local and all remote branches.

So if I have 15 branches, in sourcetree I can see either all 30 local+remote or just all 15 local branches.

But in GitKraken I can set it to only show 1 or 2 or 4 or 5 etc.


author: Seth
body: You are definitely not the first to ask this question (try searching this site for "branch colors"), and the problem basically boils down to this: even though the name "branch" implies that it refers to a line of commits, on a technical level, a branch only refers to a single commit.

I wrote a rather detailed answer to one of these questions recently, hopefully it helps: <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/44220615>

Not a Valid Source Path / URL OSX
Asked by adamscoble:

Hi there,

I've found a few threads complaining about a similar issue, however their resolutions don't seem available to me. Basically I can see my list of Bitbucket repos, but when I click 'Clone' the URL is empty, if I paste in the repo URL the "This is not a valid south path / URL" error doesn't go away.

But by all accounts it doesn't seem you can disable Git? Is it possible that some install process hasn't run?

I'm on OSX.

Thanks in advance!

Sourcetree continously asking for password to bitbucket.org
Asked by Alex Lloreda:

Hi,

Sourcetree keeps asking the password to login to bitbucket.org, even though I don't have any repository in bitbucket.

I can log in just fine to bitbucket.org with my username/password, but sourcetree keeps asking again and again every 10 minutes. In the dialog I can't edit the user name either. How can I get rid of this message?


Answers:
author: Seth
body: Go to View \> Show Hosted Repositories, and see if you have a Bitbucket account entered there. If you aren't using any Bitbucket repositories on this machine, it is safe to delete that account from sourcetree.

comments: author: Alex Lloreda
body: I don't have any hosted repository


author: Seth
body: If you don't have any "hosted repositories", and none of your repositories have a Bitbucket remote, then I can't think of any reason why SourceTree would be asking you for bitbucket.org credentials.
Restart Local file set
Asked by Patrick McCarthy (Everseeker):

Not even sure HOW to ask this...

We have a repository (GIT)

I have local files... There was a problem, requiring me to desire to remove all of my local files and replace them with what is on the server.

When I tried to delete my files, SourceTree said.. OK, deleting files on the server, too... (!!NO!! Don't do that)

I have no idea how to approach this...


Answers:
author: Seth
body: If you're not sure how to ask the question, then you probably haven't learned the fundamentals of git. I would recommend reading the free [Git Book](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2), especially the first three chapters.

To answer your question directly:

If you have not committed the bad changes, you can use the Discard button, and choose the Reset All tab to clear out all local changes.

If you have committed changes, and HAVE NOT PUSHED THEM, then what you want is a "hard reset". You do not remove files from your machine. Rather, you instruct your repository to replace your working copy with the files from an existing commit. In SourceTree, you can right-click the "good" commit in the graph, select "Reset to this commit", and choose the "hard" option.

If you have pushed bad changes to the remote repository, then the situation is more complex. Try searching "how to revert pushed changes in git".

LFS makes SourceTree stutter heavily
Asked by no0b25:

Hey everyone, I noticed a weird occurence when pushing LFS files with SourceTree (most recent version) on Windows. Everytime I push, LFS writes loads of lines for the push progress into the console making SourceTree stutter after half a minute or so and eventually become unresponsive (and hog CPU time) until the push is finished. My colleague on a Mac has his LFS progress displayed in one line which is replaced every time the progress updates.

<https://vgy.me/mTEjAQ.png> - That's how it looks and it continues on in that manner.

Maybe somebody also had to deal with this and could help me out? I couldn't find any setting in SourceTree and also couldn't think of a config parameter that could prevent this from happening.

File permissions error after clone
Asked by Mike Garlick:

Hey,

I have a multitude of web applications that are mostly based in PHP and have quite a deep file/directory structure. Upon making new repositories with SourceTree and Bitbucket and then cloning to a live server all my file and directory permissions have been ignored and changed rendering my web applications useless.

I've read around this topic and found that essentially SourceTree/Bitbucket/Git etc believe that file permissions are irrelevant. How on earth that is an answer to it I have no idea as file permissions can be the death of web applications if not kept intact.

My only work around so far is to do a full recursive chmod on an entire file structure which is just downright ugly. I would like to find out how to retain them throughout any process with sourcetree and bitbucket.

<br />

**NB -** *This post has been edited and previously mentioned wordpress. Regardless of the code base a repository uses this issue is still pertinent. And I retract my quote of 30% (apologies) its something more like 18% which is still not to be sniffed at.*

body: I'd say because over 30% of the entire internet is WordPress and it kind bleeds out on everything web related.

Its not necessarily a wordpress question I'm asking. More the fact that SourceTree in ignoring the file permissions and changing them when committing and cloning ect.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, this again.  

@Jonas Andersson - yes, you're spot on. There are several sites who are documenting their Wordpress hints, add-ons, tricks, suggestions and so-on using Confluence. A number of the more poorly designed sites don't bother to offer good routes to help, support or forums, so people looking for help end up landing on the Confluence footer, which in turn lands them here.   

This, of course, begs the question of why they're not using Wordpress to do their docs, but that's a different conversation.

@Mike Garlick - 30% is a vast exaggeration, but that's not important here. You have a very good question, and it deserves attention from the community, as it's not just an edge case related to Wordpress specific executables or scripts. I am not a Sourcetree user as it doesn't run on Linux, so I really can't help, but, if it is still a problem, I would ask the question again. But change it slightly:

* Do not label it with Wordpress
* Absolutely need to label it with Sourcetree
* Expand on what "access wp-admin" means. Assume the audience doesn't know what that is at all (is it a script/executable/page to run?)

comments: author: Heck Tilman (EB-DU/ENP2)
body: Maybe that exceeds the basic question. Nevertheless I think it fits best here.

I use the Confluence table with several information columns that are exported after a completed project as documentation.

Based on that I would also need to create tickets with most of the information

1. Summary (one column + part of the page header(reference to the particular project)

2. Description

3. Linked to the Confluence table

4. Component

So far I can choose two columns (Summary and Description)

Furthermore, I would like to automatically place the Jira tickets inside a separate Status column.

So far I read about an Addon Excel table which I can then import to Jira again. But it?s a workaround.  

Is there a elegant way to fulfill these or at least most of it?

Contributors macro within Include macro
Asked by Gareth Budge:

Hi,

I have a page with the Contributors macro inserted. Let's call this Page A. On Page B, I am using the Include macro to include Page A.

The issue is when viewing Page B, I don't see the contributors of Page B .. I see instead the contributors of Page A.

I've tried for about an hour to figure out how I could resolve this but am coming up short.

Does anyone know how I can get the list of contributors to reflect the page where the Include macro is used?


Answers:
author: Rodrigo
body: Good day [@Gareth Budge](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5334224), and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The contributors macro has a rule where if "page name" is left blank, it will yield the values of its current page; thus, this could be the cause for this issue.

Could you try to add this value to Page A and see if it reflects correctly then in Page B? Here is the [documentation of the macro.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf719/contributors-macro-1157466725.html#:~:text=Contribution%20Type.-,Page%20Name,-(page)%C2%A0)

Hope this helps!  
Rodrigo

comments: author: Gareth Budge
body: Hi [@Rodrigo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4988097)

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

I suspected that was the cause and did try numerous ways to try and get the macro to use "Page B" but came up short.

When I deliberately put "Page B" in the Pages field it does correctly show the contributors of "Page B".

I want to use the same Include macro using "Page A" in many locations, so is there any way to have the macro to calculate based on "Page B" instead of "Page A" automatically?

How do I setup a table in Confluence so that it easily syncs to Jira when creating issues?
Asked by Sarah Walwyn:

Hi!  
I have recently been trialing the functionality of capturing workflow items in a Confluence table for the purpose of syncing to Jira via the "create issue" functionality. See the image below.![Screenshot 2023-10-06 at 2.17.57 pm.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/284828iD204E9C0458ABB98/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-10-06 at 2.17.57 pm.png")

Can you please advise if the functionality is built for the following:

* Sync assignee to Jira issue when created (please note that summary, description and epic link all were automatically created on the issue)
* Sync due date to Jira issue when created
* Sync multiple different epic links to Jira when created. Functionality seems to only pick up one epic link to sync too unless in separate tables.

<br />

Any guides/tips would be appreciated.

Thank you!


Answers:
author: G subramanyam
body: Hi [@Sarah Walwyn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4277156) welcome to the Atlassian community.

I believe, the Confluence to Jira sync functionality does not support syncing multiple epic links to a Jira issue when it is created.

However, you may have to try the '*[Jira Automation for Confluence](https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/use-jira-automation-with-confluence/)*' and let us know how it worked.

How to transform Server Space export to match Cloud users
Asked by Areg Vrtanesyan _Work_:

Hi Confluence Experts

I am trying to import Confluence DC Space export to my Cloud instance and in order to convert creator/author of the space I am trying to perform the following modification in entities.xml file:

I found that in server version users are defined in this format

```
<object class="ConfluenceUserImpl" package="com.atlassian.confluence.user">
<id name="key"><![CDATA[ff80808172207c7b01722e73f4990016]]></id>
<property name="name"><![CDATA[username]]></property>
<property name="lowerName"><![CDATA[username]]></property>
<property name="email"><![CDATA[server.mail@someserver.com]]></property>
</object>
```

From one of my Cloud exports I found my user details (they are same across different spaces)

```
<object class="ConfluenceUserImpl" package="com.atlassian.confluence.user">
<id name="key"><![CDATA[8a7f808a7b152829017b1b16655200b0]]></id>
<property name="name"><![CDATA[atlassian.mail@someserver.com]]></property>
<property name="lowerName"><![CDATA[atlassian.mail@someserver.com]]></property>
<property name="atlassianAccountId"><![CDATA[some_random_number]]></property>
</object>
```

I also replaced all occurrences of ff80808172207c7b01722e73f4990016 in the file to 8a7f808a7b152829017b1b16655200b0 but I am still getting the creator defined as unlicensed user and I don't have a permissions to edit pages.
