Do SourceTree for Windows updates undergo any authenticity verification prior to being applied?
Asked by Cathy Sanders:

Being from a larger enterprise, our information security group has concerns regarding the installation or updating of software directly from the internet as there is the possibility of the downloaded file having been somehow tampered with by untrusted parties. We can definitely work with the provided offline install file for the initial installs, but would like our developers to be able to do their own updates from the internet. Is there any authenticity verification that is done by SourceTree to ensure that the updates are from Atlassian and have not somehow been tampered with?


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: Yes.

1. The update metadata includes an MD5 hash which is checked against the downloaded file. To compromise the update 2 separate systems would have to be compromised to change both the MD5 and the file itself.
2. When the update is run, depending on your settings you will probably be asked if you want the installer to modify your system, and in that dialog you can view the code signature associated with the installer
3. All our code (the installer, the binaries within it) are code signed with publicly verifiable certificates

comments: author: Cathy Sanders
body: Thanks for the response. That should satisfy our security people with regards to the updates.
Fair-use of SourceTree icon?
Asked by James Moger:

Hi,

I'm the author of Gitblit, an open source, pure Java Git server. I plan to offer SourceTree clone links in the next release - among other rich Git clients. I would like to decorate the SourceTree client dropdown menu with the SourceTree icon and whatever other branding is required to satisfy reasonable fair-use of your logo. I have not been able to find terms of use for your branding so I am reaching out for a discussion.

You can see a live snapshot of the development release here:

<https://next-gitblit.rhcloud.com/summary/gitblit.git>

Thanks for your consideration,

-James

SourceTree: it is possible to distribute the app with predefined settings?
Asked by LarsM:

It is possible to distribute the app with predefined settings. So that our developers only need to run the prepared installation and all have the same settings.


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: Yes, you can install a customised default settings file for a user if you wish:

* Windows: %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Atlassian\\SourceTree.exe_Url_yjhzxxhcu2ommegrdorjf3q1oqllqxiq\\0.9.4.0\\user.config  
  Note the hash and version number in the path - the hash is derived from the install location, that one above is from the default install path on x64 Windows, it may be different if you install elsewhere. You only need to do it once, the settings will be upgraded with versions as they are applied.
* Mac: \~/Library/Preferences/com.torusknot.SourceTreeNotMAS.plist

These are for the settings in Tools \> Options or Preferences. If you want to copy bookmarks you can find them here:

* Windows: %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Atlassian\\SourceTree\\bookmarks.xml
* Mac: \~/Library/Application Support/SourceTree/browser.plist

Support for precomposeunicode = true?
Asked by Matthias M?ller:

Hi,

I am new to Sourcetree but are used to using git for many years. Some of my files have German umlauts so that I need to enable

```
[core]  precomposeunicode = true
```

in my global .gitconfig file. Is it somehow possible to enable the same feature within Sourcetree?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

best regards,

Matthias


Answers:
author: KieranA
body: Hi Matthias,

Many people using SourceTree deal with umlauts by using the core.quotepath Git setting. Here's a short article: <http://blog.fealdia.org/2010/01/16/git-status-utf-8-umlaut-tip/>

**EDIT:**

Sorry, I answered incorrectly. We don't plan on supporting this feature as it's too esoteric. If you set it in the .gitconfig then it should work fine.

Hope that helps

comments: author: KieranA
body: Hey Daniel,

Speak of the devil, I'm literally doing it right now. Expect it in 1.6.3 which I'll release as soon as possible (over the next week or so)

Hope that helps


author: Daniel Siegmann
body: That's great news! Is there an issue on [jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com) I can watch?


author: Daniel Siegmann
body: I wouldn't consider this feature to be esoteric. But I don't think SourceTree needs to do anything aside from having a newer version of Git embedded.

Any plans to upgrade the embedded Git version?


author: Daniel Siegmann
body: Despite Kieran's answer, I have confirmed SourceTree will display the status correctly when using an appropriate version of Git.

SourceTree version 1.6.2.2 comes with Git version 1.7.11.1 embedded. This apparently doesn't support the `precomposeunicode` property. So you must install a newer version of Git on your system and have SourceTree use that instead of the embedded version.

To change the version of Git being used, just go to Preferences, click the Git tab, and then click the "Use System Git" button. Select the git binary and you should be good to go. You may have to restart SourceTree.

I have confirmed it works with Git version 1.8.2. I should note I have yet to test this extensively, but the status at least is displayed correctly.

Hopefully SourceTree will someday embed a newer version of Git.

(As an aside, I have been unable to find in which version of Git this property was added, so I cannot say what the minimum Git version is.)

comments: author: KieranA
body: Yup, we're upgrading our embedded Git version for 1.6.3 which should be out over the next week or so. I need to do some further testing to ensure it's OK, however, but I can't imagine there being any problems.


author: Daniel Siegmann
body: Looks like this didn't make SourceTree 1.6.3.1. Any ETA?


author: KieranA
body: Unfortunately there wasn't enough time for a decent set of integration tests so we'll be holding off for a while yet. In the meantime you can still use system Git and make sure your system version is updated.
Commit Error message "Please tell me who you are?"

I am new to Source tree and Git Hub. I am trying to commit changes to a new branch that I made. I get this error:

Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'hassan.nabil@HNABIL02-DT.(none)')

author: Stan Allen
body: \*\*\* Please tell me who you are \<-- error

I had the same problem on Windows after installing sourcetree. Initially, my installed GIT from the command line was working fine but after installing sourcetree and updating Tools-\>Options was also broken with the same error.

I also ran the suggested commands and that did not resolve it.

It turns out that the HOME environment variable had a space after "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" so it was actually "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\<space\>".   

The command "git config --global -l" told me that the global config file could not be found and showed me the incorrect path to the file it attempted to open. That was the clue that lead me to resolve my issue by removing the space from the end of the HOME environment variable.


author: William Harding
body: This looks more like a bug with SourceTree not being able to read the default config file rather than the user not being logged in. That file is C:\\Users\\me\\.gitconfig. You need to enter the file manually to get that data, then change the SourceTree.exe.config also.

right way to create a new branch
Asked by ghiboz:

hi all! I had a problem creating a new branch and after go back to the previous:

I've created a new branch called dev_NP from my branch dev, after I've used dev_NP and the next commit are all of dev_NP.

on the website I see that all the old commit have both dev and dev_NP:

![](http://content.screencast.com/users/ghiboz78/folders/Jing/media/2221206a-ff09-47a9-b9c7-8fe71951282c/2013-05-29_1107.png)

today I checked out my dev branch to continue to work in dev, but it mantained also the changes made in dev_NP, so I made some bad things with git reset git revert...

how can I do this in the right way?

thanks in advance


Answers:
author: ghiboz
body: thanks steve!

but is right that when you create a new branch, in bitbucket website you see the label 'new_branch' also for the old commits and when you commit in the 'new_branch' you see also the label of the other branch?

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: Yes, it's because they are 'reachable' from that branch I believe. You'd have to ask the Bitbucket guys for more detail on that design decision :)


author: ghiboz
body: here is the shoot![](http://content.screencast.com/users/ghiboz78/folders/Default/media/d088f068-d3d7-44ea-b0bd-4abcbee9533b/Untitled-1.jpg)

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: That looks completely normal to me. The Bitbucket view should only show the branch alongside the commit if the commit is reachable from that branch - the only thing I can think of is that you did some kind of history modification (like reset to commit) but after you'd already pushed those commits, then you pushed them again? Hard to visualise how this view matches up since I can only see part of your BB list in the previous screenshot.


author: ghiboz
body: I'll do it at home, here is modified after the git reset and git revert, but the graph is a single line


author: ghiboz
body: Hi Steve!

In my project I worked on the 'dev' branch.

after I've created a new branch called 'dev_NP' from the last commit of 'dev' branch.

after this, all the 'dev_NP' commits are referenced in the bitbucket website like the image that I posted, 'dev' and 'dev_NP'.

Today I decided to come back to the 'dev' branch and leave the 'dev_NP' branch, so I checkout the 'dev' branch, sourcetree told me that the actual branch was 'dev' but it mantained all the commits that I made in 'dev_NP'

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: Yeah, that doesn't sound normal - if you created a new branch dev_NP and checked it out, any new commit would have been associated with that branch, and checking out 'dev' again should have taken you back to the previous point in time. Can you show us a screenshot of SourceTree's graph?

LUCIDCHART INTEGRATION
Asked by Adil Iqbal:

Hi ,

We would like to install LUCIDCHART diagram connector however clicking install pops up these details among which ***delete data from host applicaition***. Will that delete existing data on install. Please advise. Thanks,  
Lucidchart Diagrams Connector will perform the following actions:  
* Delete data from the host application
* Write data to the host application
* Read data from the host application


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Adil Iqbal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4808248) It is prompting you to agree to allow the application to perform the following actions on your instance. You will be giving the app the ability to perform those actions once it installs.

comments: author: Adil Iqbal
body: Thanks [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) for prompt response.

so just to confirm it wont delete any existing data in the app ?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Adil Iqbal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4808248) What data are you concerned about being deleted? When you install the app you are giving it permission to do so. Once it is installed someone could delete a chart from Confluence and it would delete it from Lucid. Or you could delete it in Lucid and it would be removed in Confluence. At the time of installation, it should not be deleting anything unless you had the app installed before at which point it would probably delete the information associated with that lucid account if it is different from the old install.


author: Adil Iqbal
body: Thats clear now.. We do have app already installed so in that case it could probably delete old data .

Thanks for clarifying.

Best Regards,


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Adil Iqbal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4808248) you have the app already installed in Confluence? This would only impact Confluence on install. After install it would only impact lucid if someone took action in Confluence to do a delete. If you are already using lucid and want to see those charts in lucid it will not delete all your charts when you install the app on Confluence.

body: [@Adil Iqbal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4808248) can you accept this answer to help others?

How do you create a new template?
Asked by Peyton.Shue:

How do I create new template? The instructions given on the Confluence help page are inaccurate.


Answers:
author: Sushant Verma
body: Hi [@Peyton.Shue](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5236873)   

Welcome to the community!  

Only space administrators can create or edit templates in Confluence.  

**To create a template in a space:**

1. Go to the space in Confluence Cloud.

2. Select **Space Settings** from the sidebar.

3. Select **Templates** from the **Look and feel** card.

4. Select **Create new template** .  

Please follow this doc for more info : <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/>

Missing space
Asked by Jim Murphy:

Hey Confluence Community,

I know this is a common question and I have researched the Q\&A and tried the solutions. In Confluence Cloud, I recently created a bunch of new Confluence spaces tied to Jira projects. But that seems to have killed the main space for my account.

<https://dealstampede.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEALSTAMPE/pages/3407873/Server+Topology> (there is nothing sensitive there)

I don't see it in the trash, and I am an admin, so I see everything. So I am pretty sure it's not a permissions issue.

I cannot find this DEALSTAMPE space anywhere.

Do you all have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim


Answers:
author: Kris Dewachter
body: Hi [@Jim Murphy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5236809) ,

Being an admin, doesn't automatically grant you the permissions to see the content of any space.

Can you navigate to the Confluence settings, and then select 'Space Permissions'. Is the DEALSTAMPE space listed there ? If so, you can use the 'manage permissions' link to check the permissions.

Best regards,

Kris

comments: author: Jim Murphy
body: hey Kris,

Unfortunately, the space is not listed there.

It's like it was the default space and once I created a new space, the default space disappeared.

I am going to see what the cloud support team says.

Thanks for responding.

Jim


author: Sushant Verma
body: Hi [@Jim Murphy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5236809)   

Welcome to the community!  

If you're a site admin I would check out your Space Permissions in Confluence Admin settings and see if you can find the spaces listed there.

*[https://YOUR-DOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/permissions/viewdefaultspacepermissions.action](https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/permissions/viewdefaultspacepermissions.action)*

It may be that somehow the permissions were changed, and you don't have access to view the space. For that, you can review the following:

* [Manage and Recover Space Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/assign-space-permissions-724764762.html#AssignSpacePermissions-managepermManageandrecoverspaceadminpermissions)

If you still have issues, I would recommend r[eaching out to the Cloud Support team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact#). They can obtain your Cloud URL, and have a look directly at your instance and database to see if the space still exists.

Regards,  
Sushant Verma

comments: author: Jim Murphy
body: Hi Sushant,

So the problem is two-fold.

1) I am on the free plan for now, so I cannot modify space permissions

2) I don't even see the space in the list of spaces.

So I will reach out to the cloud support team.

Thanks!

Jim

Is there a way to make Confluence more lightweight and faster?
Asked by Marco Mooij:

Hello,  

We've been using Confluence Cloud for a while now. First we were using the Hosted server version of Confluence and moved to the Cloud because of multiple reasons.  

Ever since we moved to the Cloud version we are experiencing problems with loading speeds which makes working with Confluence more of a painful experience instead of a smooth one.

When we load a Confluence page we see in de browser developer tools that a single page refresh does around 590 requests with 15MB of data transferred. We see alot of .js files being loaded. When we do a test with GTmetrix the performance of the site is dreadful (E). GTmetrix also suggests to avoid enormous network payloads.  

Is there a way to disable certain things from being loaded so the pages load faster and smoother? For example for our customers we have a public space that only needs to show the pages and content. No need for comments and other apps or stuff being loaded.


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi [@Marco Mooij](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5236766) welcome to the community. I would suggest opening a ticket with support (support.atlassian.com) and go over with them your concern to see if there are any performance improvements that can be made. There was some work done in the past for performance, maybe that needs to be revisited. That article is here: [Confluence Cloud Perf Improvements](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Migration-Program/Confluence-Cloud-Performance-Improvements/ba-p/1669369)

I also see a few Jira issues reporting performance issues. You could vote and watch for them as well. [CONFCLOUD-69740](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69740) [CONFCLOUD-65939](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65939) are just two of them.

Hope that Helps.

comments: author: Marco Mooij
body: Thanks Dan!  

I created a ticket with support. Hopefully they can give some tips or tricks to prevent certain unnecessary things from being loaded. Its especially important for our customer that the load speed is fast. And of course for us as a team to make editing and documentation more enticing instead of the dreadful bloated experience we have now.  

Hope someone from the community has already found some ways to disable certain things from being loaded.
