SourceTree cannot start after the latest Windows 10 insider build installed
Asked by James Ma:

I have been using SourceTree 1.8.3 on Windows 10 for few months, and it works fine.

I have just upgraded my Windows 10 to latest insider build yesterday, and it still works right after the upgrade, but after I have rebooted the machine, it cannot start anymore.

When I click to start SourceTree, the cursor turn to running status and then return to normal after few seconds. And I have checked the Task Manager, the process of SourceTree has been shown, but disappeared soon.

It cannot start even I have completely uninstalled and then install it again. I also tried to start it as Administrator, but still failed.

As there has no error message prompted, I cannot guess if this related to the latest Windows 10 build, but this is the only change in my PC recently.

Is that any way to trace why the SourceTree application cannot be started? Any suggestion to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Unable to fetch a remote's branches, nor subsequently delete the remote
Asked by Eric:

As of a few days ago, I can't fetch a remote's branches anymore or rather, they do not display. Steps to reproduce:

* add a new remote
* remote shows up in the left sidebar
* right-click and "fetch from \<remote-name\>"
* branches do not display in sidebar
* however, I do see them appear in the history view

Some similarly weird thing is going on if I then remove that remote, the branches are not removed from history view. Steps to reproduce:

* in left sidebar, right-click on \<remote-name\> and select "remove \<remote-name\>"
* remote disappears from sidebar
* branches from remote are still visible in history view

If I go into my ".git/refs/remotes/\<remote-name\>" folder, I see all its branches still in there, like the History view shows. Clearly, they are not getting deleted. I can remove them manually from the Finder, which then properly reflects in the History view, but it should be working from the UI. And it used to.

At the time I was still on SourceTree v2.2.4 and thought that might have been a bug. Didn't remember when I updated it last. So I installed the update to 2.3 with the same issue still. I downgraded a couple versions to v2.2.1 to which I'm certain that it worked with before and I'm still seeing the same issue. Apparently, it's not directly version related. - The only thing I can remember recently doing is installing some npm-modules to that repo. I don't think that this would have any effect but who knows.

Has anyone run into this issue before or has a suggestion on how to resolve this?


Answers:
author: Eric
body: I think I just resolved it. The steps I took:

* quit SourceTree
* removed all previously added remote folders through the Finder from both ".git/refs/remotes/" and ".git/logs/refs/remotes/" (kept only origin and upstream remotes)
* relaunched SourceTree
* added a remote again, fetched and the branches showed up
* removed the remote and it removed all its branches as well
* this now works on v2.3 as well

Still not sure what initially caused this but it seems to be resolved... for now. Will keep an eye on it.


author: Eric
body: @Seth Good question, just tried that and no, it's actually the same behavior. The remote gets properly removed but not its branches. Hmm...


author: Seth
body: Is the behavior any different if you use git commands to remove the remote?
how to use git with local code?
Asked by Rucha D:

I have my code on local system. I would like to keep versions of that software code, so that I can use different versions with same code.

I would like to keep that in git and with source tree.

Any once has idea about using git with local code and how to add these local files in ST and bitbucket?


Answers:
author: Seth
body: Yes, this is very normal usage of Git.

Here are instructions for creating the local repo and pushing it to Bitbucket: <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570446/how-to-add-gitbitbucket-to-existing-source-code-folder>

When they say to use Git Bash, the easiest way to do that is to use the Terminal button in SourceTree.

After those steps are completed, you can add the local repo to SourceTree using the Add Repo button (or File \> Clone/New...", and choosing "Add Working Copy":

comments: author: Rucha D
body: Thanks you so much appreciated your response.

When I commit the code to ST, its showing me below error, can you please tell me how to change my credentials in ST?

Run

git config --global user.email "you@[example.com](http://example.com)"  
git config --global [user.name](http://user.name) "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.  
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.


author: Rucha D
body: Awesome Seth Foss. It worked. appreciated.


author: Seth
body: For the identity thing, just run the commands it is instructing you to run in the git terminal. Make sure to put a valid email and name instead of "you@example.com" and "Your Name".

author: Wayne Soh
body: My server doesn't have https at the moment. and for some reason sourcetree doesn't like that


author: Seth
body: Ah, that's not something I've done before. Is it this popup:

image2016-5-18 8:43:18.png

You might try the HTTPS Url, only put your username in the username box (not the URL), and make sure Preferred Protocol is SSH. IDK if the extended integration API can communicate over SSH. It may require HTTPS, but use SSH for all git communication.


author: Wayne Soh
body: There is no error message in that URL and all i have changed in the URL is the actual name of the Web site and the name of the git repo.

with or without the port I still get the same error message saying that the URL is malformed. I have tried removing the git@ as well but no luck

BTW just to be clear, I get this error while i try to register a new remote account. cloning the repo actually works fine.


author: Seth
body: Assuming you didn't remove the error text in the process of removing sensitive info, that looks fine to me. Maybe it's choking on the port specification for some reason? What error message do you get if you try the same URL without the port (I'm assuming SourceTree validates the URL before checking for a Git repo at the URL)?


author: Wayne Soh
body: <ssh://git@git.example.com:7999/web/exampleapp.git>


author: Seth
body: I don't suppose you are willing to post the URL so we can proofread it for you.
How to change "auto push" to use tracked branch instead of origin?
Asked by Arne Claus:

Hey - I've got a repository with two remotes and branches tracking branches on these remotes like this

master -\> origin/master  
dev -\> **local**/master

When I commit something to dev I get the option to automatically push to "origin/master" but not "**local**/master" as it should be (as this branch is tracking local, not origin). This is quite dangerous as I can easily forget to uncheck that option after working on master ...

<br />

Is there a way to fix this or is this a bug?


Answers:
author: Arne Claus
body: Follow up: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-3795>

Mac SourceTree 2.3 has no Preview for Finish Feature
Asked by ralvy:

After upgrading Mac SourceTree to 2.3 yesterday, I notice that it doesn't offer me a Preview when I choose HgFlow Finish Feature. Can I safely assume hitting OK will Merge the Feature to Develop? I posted this over at JIRA as <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-3789>.

If I want to do downgrade, is there a safe way to do this?


Answers:
author: ralvy
body: Are there any plans to fix this?


author: ralvy
body: Still present in 2.3.1 for Mac OS X.

Start \& Finish Feature both lack Preview.

Start Release lacks Preview, but Finish Release has Preview.

Start Hot Fix lacks Preview, but Finish Hot Fix has Preview.


author: ralvy
body: Thanks, Seth. In terms of uninstalling before downgrade-installing 2.1, is dragging 2.3 to the Trash adequate? Or are there some 2.3-specific files I need to clear out before installing 2.1?

How fast does Atlassian release bug fixes? I may just wait for the hotfix.

comments: author: Seth
body: I'm a Windows user, so I don't know what the best way is to uninstall on Macs.

I would guess a week or two for an update, but that's just a guess.


author: ralvy
body: Well, in the mean time, if I keep 2.3 installed, can I assume that hitting the OK button in such a dialog will execute the default action? In this case, it would closing the feature branch and merging it with develop.


author: Seth
body: I don't know. Try it, and check the results before you push to the remote. As long as you haven't pushed, you can reset your branches to the pre-merge state.


author: ralvy
body: it works fine. I also notice that the Finish Release dialog is not corrupted this way. That is, it has an intact Preview Pane.

Is there a way to downgrade safely?

comments: author: Seth

If it's not there anymore simply go to <https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/> and download it again.

If the installation fails on the new attempt, you might have to go into ControlPanel, Programs and Features and uninstall any remnant of SourceTree there.

Xcode couldn't communicate with helper application
Asked by QwazyWabbit:

I installed SourceTree for Mac for use with Bitbucket projects but now Xcode can't commit to my local Git repositories created prior to installing SourceTree. I maintain several local GIT and remote SVN repositories on my MacBook Pro and Xcode has always offered to create them when creating new projects but now, after installing SourceTree, I cannot commit to or create any repositories from within Xcode.

Deleting the SourceTree app doesn't repair this.

It seems SourceTree is interfering with Xcode's ability to commit to and maintain these repos. Querying and comparing working copy with repository appears to work normally.

Upon commit, Xcode says "Couldn't communicate with a helper application".

How do I get SourceTree to let Xcode do its thing directly on these repositories?

author: Dan Esrey
body: I wasn't able to add my name and email in Preferences; if I typed in the values and then navigated to a different window and back again, my changes were gone. What I ended up doing was using terminal.   

xcrun git config -- global user.name "your name"  
xcrun git config -- global user.email *email address*


author: AalokJIPL
body: The solution is to add changes once with a git command. Use terminal and navigate to Xcode project folder. If you are in the right folder, this command:

    ls -al

will list a .git folder. Then you know you're in the right place. Then execute

    git commit -a -m "Commit title here"

After that commit via Xcode should work again. If not try the same steps again for 2 to 3 times.

I just check the git status and try to commit again 3 times and the issue is resolved.
How do I resolve a merge conflict with hgtags?
Asked by ralvy:

I seem to have a merge conflict with my hgtags file. Not sure how to resolve this with SourceTree.

I also have a hgtags.orig file, if that helps.


Answers:
author: ralvy
body: Before getting your reply, I noticed a small hunk marked as different the hgtags file. I chose to delete that hunk. Maybe that's why I had the .orig version. I then selected the file (it was still marked as conflicted) and chose to resolve the conflict with external diff software. But I didn't have any such software installed (I thought I had Beyond Compare configured with SourceTree, burt apparently not). After SourceTree failed to load any diff software, I noticed the file was no longer conflicted and all worked fine. I later configured SourceTree to work with Beyond Compare for the future, if I need it.


author: Seth
body: If SourceTree has the file labelled as conflicted, you can right-click the file and choose "Resolve Conflicts" \> "Launch external merge tool". You will need to have merge software installed and configured with SourceTree.

If it is NOT marked as conflicted in SourceTree (I suspect SourceTree may think you already resolved the merge since you have an .orig version), you can right-click the file and "Resolve conflicts" \> "restart merge".

If you don't know how to merge in general, you should probably search the internet for tutorials. Explaining how to merge is a little too in-depth for a QA site answer.

Looking at this description what you provided it is very hard to define what kind of error you are having. The link it is not something that everyone here is able to check.

I would start with checking who is the admin of this instance and try to reach him. If you are an admin then would be nice if you can provide more information, some screens etc.

I personally would start with checking you on specific space (Doppler) users that try to upload files (attachments) have permission to do it.

Here is more information about space permissions..

Hide URL under Swagger title in Swagger for Confluence plugin
Asked by Keith Vedol:

Hi, we are trying out the Swagger for Confluence plugin using the URL option to access the document from one of our Git repos.
