New file automatically ignored
Asked by Eugenio Di Tullio:

Hi all,

I'm not expert using Sourcetree, even though it's almost an year that I use it for basic operations. Lately I noticed that every time I add new files in my project, they're not added to the verioning system and it took a while for me to understand why. I eventually found out that they are ignored, even though they shouldn't be because they're not listed in the .hgignore file (not even as a content of an ignored directory).   
So far the solution is to manually check if the file have been ignored and then add them, but as it easy to imagine, it's not the most confortable situation. I'm always worried to forget something and lose some files.  

Can someone try to explain me what's happening?   
Thanks!


Answers:
author: KieranA
body: Hi Eugenio,

This may well be because you're looking at the wrong .hgignore. There's a global .hgignore file also. An easy way to look for all of your hgignore files is to call "locate .hgignore" at the terminal. You'll probably find one alled /Users/\<username\>/.hgignore_global. This may well have an ignore pattern in it which is causing those files to be ignored.

Cheers

comments: author: pbwest
body: Does a syntax defined in .hgignore_global carry over to .hgignore files? The default for .hgignore files is regexp, but I notice in my .hg_ignore file that the syntax is defined as glob.

I assume that the syntax reverts when a new .hgignore file is encountered.

(I assume that some upgrade created the !/.hgignore_global file.)


author: Timothy
body: Can you confirm that your .hgignore does not have a regex that ignores files?


author: Eugenio Di Tullio
body: Timothy, thanks for your help, but that wasn't the case.  
Kieran, you were right! I knew we had a global ignore file somewhere, but I always thought it was server-side. Editing it solved everything. Thanks!

How to show branch column in log-view SourceTree
Asked by Yoriz:

As an integrator I do a lot of merges between several branches. It is not clear to me how to show a "branch" column in the log-view, so I end up "following the colored lines" until I reach the log entry that has a branch-label. This is error prone and time-consuming.

I know how to toggle between revision numbers and revision hashes, but how can I enable a branch column?

SourceTree should not remember my passwords
Asked by JanH:

Can I tell SourceTree not to remember my passwords?

I am using SourceTree to push and pull over HTTPS on a development machine. The machine is shared with a couple of developers, often working under the same account for practical reasons. Can I tell SourceTree to forget my password after closing the SourceTree session?

I can find a few questions on this site asking for the opposite, that SourceTree would save their passwords, I think it would be handy to explicitly tell SourceTree whether or not it is allowed to save this info.

SourceTree hg merge - Unknown Command error
Asked by Dylan Cuthbert:

Looks like the commandline formatting is wrong and mercurial is unusable with sourcetree at the moment (latest win7 version at time of writing).

The revision seems to be missing the -r prefix in the command line for hg merge and so returns with an error.


Answers:
author: Dylan Cuthbert
body: Anyone have any ideas? We are in a Japanese environment, is this causing a problem? (codepage?)


author: Dylan Cuthbert
body: Yes, actually I noticed the -r is optional so I wonder what is causing this problem?

We have largefiles and an extension to allow japanese filenames (utf8), but disabling both these extensions doesn't change the behaviour, and neither does using the internal mercurial.

We do have the more standard extensions, rebase and mq enabled, could it be one of these? They all say sourcetree internal though so I presume they are safe?


author: stevestreeting
body: The '-r' is actually optional (see hg merge --help) - I don't have any issues merging with SourceTree with either the embedded or system hg. Do you have any custom extensions enabled?


author: Dylan Cuthbert
body: No response? It's impossible to use sourcetree with mercurial at the moment because of this problem.

comments: author: KieranA
body: I've pinged Steve who'll get back to you shortly. Sorry for the delay!


author: Dylan Cuthbert
body: Here is the exact error: (with both internal mercurial or external mercurial)

hg merge -y ui.merge=internal:merge 27321

SourceTree application certification process for my company
Asked by middleware12345:

I am looking to get SourceTree installed on my work PC.

My company has not used SourecTree before, and before it can be installed it has to go through an application certification process. AS part of this process I have to answer a numebr of questions about SourecTree. These are the questions:

**Functionality** - What will the application be used for and is there an existing application that can provide the same functionality?

**Prerequisites** - Minimum hardware, software and operating system requirements

**Known security vulnerabilities** -- Are there any known security vulnerabilities specific to the application in question?

**Licensing model** -- How is the application licensed and what are the ongoing maintenance costs etc

Can you give me answers to any of these questions?

I look forward to hearing from you


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: For 1,2 and 4, you can gather all of that by reading through <https://www.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/overview/>

For the security vulnerabilities, the simple answer is "no", because Atlassian will patch or release a new version to fix any serious vulnerabilities as soon as they can.

Meld not working as External MergeTool on Windows system
Asked by Delette Collins:

Hello I am trying to get Meld to work as the external merge tool on a Windows system. I was using p4Merge but personally do not like it as much as Meld. However when I try to launch the external merge tool the Meld external gui will not come up. It seems like it is trying to work because I can see the BASE/BACKUP/LOCAL/REMOTE file backups get created in my directory. Any idea why the gui will not actually come up?

I have Merge Tool: Custom  
Diff Command: c:\\Program Files\\Meld\\meld\\meld.exe  
Arguments: $LOCAL $REMOTE $MERGED

If I go to command prompt and go to the path of Meld which is in the Diff command above and type **meld "filelocation1" "filelocation2" "filelocation3"** It works just fine.


Answers:
author: chinhodado
body: Try adding the location of meld.exe to your PATH (e.g. C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Meld), then in Diff Command just enter meld instead of the full path. See here: <https://gist.github.com/chinhodado/6fc37def3e12ea09f785>

It works for me.

Sourcetree shows duplicate files in pending view. Is this a bug?
Asked by Fernando Diaz:

I'm working on a big project using Mercurial. I had local changes to a few files, and a colleague committed changes to one of those files to our central repository. Before committing my changes to my local repository, I decided to do a pull and an update. Now, Sourcetree is listing the simultaneously modified file twice in the pending changes view.

![](../../upfiles/sourcetree_duplicate_files.png)

Is this normal or a bug? If it's normal, how should I do my commit now?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: This is a bug, but I can't see how it could happen, I can't reproduce it here. The way you query general file status and merge status is separate in hg, so we query both then merge the results based on the path, but in your screenshot the paths clearly match 100%.

You can still go ahead and commit - just allow all the file entries to be checked in the commit dialog (this is required for merges anyway, you have to commit everything) and it will still work fine. I'll try to figure out how this edge case might have occurred.

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: Actually if you get chance before committing, it would be useful if you could run these two commands on the command line and tell me what they show in your case:

```
hg statushg resolve -l
```

Sourcetree crashes immediately upon opening git repo

How to clone whole Github repository (all branches)
Asked by Autumnmist:

I fully admit I am new to Git (I used Github's Mac GUI client for a year and recently decided to get a little more advanced by using SourceTree), but I'm confused about SourceTree's behavior when I freshly clone a repository from Github. The Github repository has multiple branches. When I used GitHub for Mac GUI to clone a repository with multiple branches, the entire repository and all its various branches would get cloned to my local machine.

However when I use SourceTree to clone a repository from Github, SourceTree only clones the single branch that I list in the clone dialog. Is this expected behavior or is Github for Mac's behavior the "expected" way? How can I make SourceTree clone the entire repository and all its branches to my local machine?


Answers:
author: Jeff Thomas
body: When you clone a Git repository, you have access to all of the remote branches and the full repository, you'll just need to checkout the appropriate branch. By default SourceTree checks out only the default branch during a clone. You'll need to checkout the remote branch and have it track locally.

In SourceTree if you want to checkout one of these remote branches, look for the branch on the left-hand side under **remotes** . You can then right-click on a branch and select **checkout**.

![](../../upfiles/Screen_Shot_2013-10-06_at_3.40.52_PM.png)

comments: author: Autumnmist
body: Thanks, but does that mean there's no way to checkout all the branches at once?


author: Jeff Thomas
body: You can only checkout one branch at a time in Git. A checkout in Git updates your local files to the state of that commit/branch.

You still have access to all the branches of the remote repository through the **remotes** menu on the left. You can create a remote-tracking branch by right-clicking on any of them and selecting **checkout** . Once you do that, the branch will appear under the **local** menu on the left. I haven't been able to find a way to do this in bulk.

So, by doing the clone, you do have access to all of the branches from the GitHub repository. Does that help with what you're trying to accomplish?


author: Autumnmist
body: Yes I think so! I'm slightly still confused because when I cloned a repository using the GitHub Mac GUI, all of the remote branches would appear (in some way) on my local machine so that I could switch between them when my local machine was not online (e.g. while flying). I guess maybe GitHub Mac was automatically creating remote-tracking branches on my local machine for every branch in the remote?

If I'm understanding you properly, it sounds like after cloning a new repository, I should create remote-tracking branches for each remot branch I might want to access offline.


author: Jeff Thomas
body: I haven't used the GitHub Mac GUI so I'm not sure what it was doing, but in SourceTree you should still have access to the **Remotes** section on the left-hand side and be able to checkout remote branches even while offline (at least it appeared to work when I disconnected my network).

I don't think you should have to create remote-tracking branches ahead of time.

Force Confluence template when creating a new page
Asked by Simon Sahli:

Hi Community,

<br />

my company would like to push a new policy that a certain template should be used for all pages (from certain or even all spaces -\> very few exceptions).  
I was therefore wondering if there is a possibility to set a default template for either the entire Confluence instance or at least certain spaces?  
The goal would be that the users do not start with an empty page rather with a template that already has a header (RACI) where certain attributes need to be filled in before they can create their actual content below.  

And secondly, I am also wondering how existing pages should best be handled? Do you have any suggestions in how we can make the existing pages steadily transform into the new company template?  

Obviously we are going to inform the users upfront and be transparent why we are doing this change and how to handle it etc.  

Curious what is possible and thank you in advance!  

Cheers,  
Simon


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no way to do this yet.

I'd love Confluence to have a default template function, so that when someone clicks create, it doesn't give them a blank page.

I'd start with a global setting, but that wouldn't work for larger sites, so I would

* Have the function settable (or overriding the global) at the Space level
* Space admins can set it
* Some places would find it useful to make it mandatory in some spaces (basically, not allowing any other template to be used), but I think that might be a bit dangerous to allow space admins to set

author: Elliot Huang
body: [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) Could you please share the app name which can skin confluence UI? I think it will help us achieve the same goal as Simon.

How to export the DrawIO figure into xml in confluence
Asked by Kelvin Chiu:

Hello,

I would like to know how to export the DrawIO image in confluence into xml format / PNG with the XML in the meta data ? The native DrawIO PNG does support embedding xml in the metadata. How to enable this in the DrawIO confluence plugin ? Or how could I obtain the xml of the figure ?

Actually, my team is going to build something to scan things inside our confluence page and consolidate everything including the figure as well. We would like to automate the whole thing. In most of case, we may not have the permission to edit the figure. I am not sure if it is on-purpose that the meta-data is removed.

I believe that confluence page is plotting the diagram dynamically based the current version of draw.io xml.

Without entering the native draw.io interface, would that still be possible in confluence draw.io plugin ?
