Repository List Modal not available on Windows
Asked by jengley:

When I open SourceTree on my MAC it starts with a nice modal that lists all of my repositories. From this modal I can select an existing repository and it will open up the "main" SourceTree window where I can do all the normal git functions.

However, when I open SourceTree on my Windows PC it goes right to the "main" SourceTree window. There is no initial Repository List modal. Instead, all my existing repositories are listed on tabs in the "main" window.

Is it possible to have the Repository List modal available on SourceTree for Windows? The modal on the MAC is a nice feature, which I prefer over the Windows tabbed list.

There was a repositories sidebar in the Windows release at one time but we moved to a new design discussed in the following blog posts (one about the visual reasons and one about the performance)

<https://blog.sourcetreeapp.com/2017/05/18/windows-2-0-gets-a-fresh-look/>

<https://blog.sourcetreeapp.com/2017/05/05/sourcetree-2-0-for-windows-3x-faster-than-sourcetree-1-9/>

Hopefully that helps to explain why there is a Repositories Browser on macOS and the "new tab experience" on Windows. Over time the design on macOS will likely become closer to that of the Windows client.

SourceTree/Git stopped working (SSL related ?)
Asked by nofishonfriday:

Suddenly SourceTree / Git has stopped working here, I haven't done any changes.

For every repo I try to clone from GitHub I now get a "This is not a valid URL" message and this error (as an example repo, which IS a valid repo on GitHub). Also existing remote repos are not refreshed anymore (same error).

SourceTree 2.0.5.8 / embedded Git 2.62

Seems I found the answer:

No; I'm not set to use System Git, whichever works is fine.

So I think the question comes down to:

Which combination of SourceTree/Git

works with Mountain Lion (10.8.5, as I'm set to use this currently) and TLS 1.2, so I can access GitHub.

Bitbucket not showing repositories in SourceTree
Asked by Jacques Mulder:

Hi there,

I am trying to use SourceTree to download my repositories, however when I authenticate, the app shows my account is valid, but it doesn't list any repos.

It has happened on my Windows desktop, Windows laptop and OSX desktop. So it seems tied to my account rather than any specific installation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

after I created branch in source tree, how can I open up my branch in visual studio 2017 community v

I have created branch for my team work in source tree, Now I want to know how I can open and work with my branch in visual studio. Need basic steps. New to this world


Answers:
author: minnsey
body: Hi  

If Sourcetree is showing the branch as open, e.g. it is highlighted in the sidebar, then your working copy, the files you can see on disk, is already using that branch.  

So assuming that working copy contains a solution or project, if you open that in Visual Studio you will be working in that branch.

SourceTree high CPU load
Asked by ahalassy:

Hi Guys,

Sometimes my SourceTree generates high CPU load. When this occurs, the application is in "File Status" view, and the "Push changes immediately..." checkbox is blinking. I've tried disable "Refresh automatically when files change" and "Refresh when application is not in focus" options, without success.

Asked by Jack JackD:

Local repository shared by multiple people?
Asked by hakanerunsal:

Hello, I am very new to source tree and this might be answered before but if it is, I couldn't find it. So here we go;

I want to work on a project with my friend. We have a small office-like place, we both have a computer and there is 1 server we use to share files easily. Both computers are connected to that server disk. So what I want to do, create a project on that server so, when I make a change on my computer and push it to the server, he can pull from the server to his own computer and keep working.

Here is a demonstration if needed;

<http://prntscr.com/ilv2zz>

Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi! For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried pushing from the command line? If you're getting errors in the command line too, then the problem is not in Sourcetree and we'll need to find what's wrong.

associate default issue type to a new configuration scheme
Asked by marc.bleij:

We have multiple *field configurations schemes.* We where able to associate per scheme all default issues to a field configuration.  

Problem is that, when creating a new field configuration scheme, we are not able to associate a field configuration to all default issue types.


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@marc.bleij](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5336479)

As I understand that you are not able to change the field config within a new created field configuration scheme

The following are the default steps:

1. In Jira admin settings, create a new field configuration scheme (this gets the default configuration by default for all issue type)
2. Press "Edit" and change the field configuration for all by choosing any of the existing field configuration in your system
3. Select the field config and associate.

Are you doing anything different, if not what is the message you get?

Include Page Makro creates useless scroll bars
Asked by Verena Themsen:

I have a lot of pages that collect articles that all relate to a larger subject (but also to other subjects, which is why they are separate articles) using the "include page" makro. Those collections used to look like a normal article, but since I started converting the collections to the new editor, I noticed that all included articles that were written in the new editor appear with a scroll bar at the side, which doesn't make sense, because the full text is being displayed. That navigation bar only shifts some blank space into view (there are no excess carriage returns at the ends of these articles, so I don't even know where that blank space comes from). At the same time, the font is smaller and the lines set tighter than in the other included articles. Articles written in the old editor still appear like they are part of the collective article. All this makes these collections much harder to read.

Any explanation why this is happening, and how I can get rid of these useless navigation bars?

What's the Best Solution for Keeping an Image on a Confluence Page in a Fixed Position?
Asked by Michael Furlan:

Apparently, images on a Confluence page might not remain in a fixed position, but rather can move across a page as the content area is expanded or contracted, such as when the browser window or sidebar is resized. One solution might be to add an image inside a table column set to fixed width although this could become involved if text above and below the image needs to span the width of the content area. Is there better means of keeping the position of an image on a page in a fixed position? Thanks.


Answers:
author: BHUSHAN PATIL
body: Hi [@Michael Furlan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2990523) ,

In Confluence, images can sometimes move across a page as the content area is expanded or contracted due to the responsive nature of the platform. To keep the position of an image on a page in a fixed position, you can try the following methods:

* **Use a macro:** The "[Content Formatting for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/247/content-formatting-macros-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)" app provides a macro called "align" that can be used to align an image to the right of the page. This macro might help you maintain the position of the image even when the content area is resized.
* **Use sections and columns:** You can use sections and column macros to define your own page layout. By placing the image inside a section, you can ensure that the image remains in the same position even when the content area is expanded or contracted. For more details please refer [Page Layouts, Columns and Sections](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-layouts-columns-and-sections-275188613.html)

Also, if you feel my input help you please accept the answer.

Regards,  
Bhushan

comments: author: Michael Furlan
body: The macros you mentioned don't seem to be available within our organization's Confluence. In any case, if an image is added inside a column in a section, the image's width and placement would be constrained by the column's width and where it's situated. Also, if the image appears within numbered steps (which is the case), the numbering would not be continuous if the steps span multiple sections. In short, it doesn't seem as if an ideal solution is available. Thanks for the suggestions though. They might be feasible if the macros are available, and the steps are not numbered.


author: Craig Nodwell
body: Hi [@Michael Furlan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2990523) have you tried changing the page layout adding sections then using a section/column macro combo to control the layout within the section...?

Confluence LucidChart Diagram Page Range Broken
Asked by Agrawal, Vipul:

Hi Team,

Recently observed that when a Multi-Tab lucid diagram added into Confluence via LucidChart widget, it does not automatically display the selected page range.

e.g.

* **LucidChart \>** Have a Lucid Diagram with 3 tabs - TAB_A, TAB_B, TAB_C
* **Confluence \>**
  * Include this diagram into confluence,
  * Setup the Advanced configuration to automatically refresh
  * Select Page range as 2 (which should select TAB_B)
  * Save/Publish the page
* Now, the confluence page should display TAB_B of LucidChart, however it always displays TAB_A as default.

It seems to be broken from last 2-3 days. We have many diagrams listed into confluence and the issue has broken the flow.

Any suggestion will help here,

Welcome to the community

As LucidChart is a 3rd party app, I would advise you to raise the issue at their end with the issue their seems to be in combination with Confluence.

If they can reproduce the issue and fix the issue. If its not an issue in the app, they should contact Atlassian, as it would then impact anyone using the 3rd party integration.

Hello community! I wanted to ask about the possibility of creating a way to sign in Confluence. I'll explain better...the idea is to read a document and that when you click on a check it appears either in a table or in a space for the user and at the same time the check cannot be deselected.

Digital Rose has a few apps in this space you may consider evaluating. [eSign Document Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228868/esign-document-management) has an extended training module for assigning Read \& Understood assertions as well as revision control, management reports and automated reminders.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-

Confluence Cloud has no built in signature type.

You can use an addon from the marketplace. There are multiple different signature addons, each with different features.

We make [Document Control for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217765/document-control-for-confluence-cloud), and you can configure it such that users can sign with a click (or with a separate password/code), and you can display an overview of signatures in a page.
