SourceTree keep asking password [Windows 8.1]
Asked by iamchathu:

I'm using sourcetree 1.6.18 and it keep asking password. I tried Removing and adding account in hosted repositories.But still it keep asking password every time even when i don't pull of push. Even though remember password is ticked it didn't save the password.


Answers:
author: Sean Kennedy
body: Same issue here, credentials are correct. Pop ups are endless.


author: Naga
body: Still have the same problem on Windows 10. Checked the credentials, but still getting the popup after some time.


author: Dan Parry
body: Hi

I figured it out. I'd switched on 2FA and (naturally) Sourcetree can't log in. Until I figure that out, I've switched 2FA off

Hopefully this helps someone as forgetful as me!

comments: author: naml3i
body: Hi Dan, I'm not so clear about your answer. It means that you solved it by turning ON 2-factor authentication, turning it OFF would cause problem, do I get it correctly?Actually it should be considered a workaround: I'm doing so now, up until now so far so good, no more annoying pop-up asking for password every 15 minutes. But there's some trade-offs:- Turning on 2FA means that everything must be done through SSH. At first I avoided the mess with setting up the key, set SSH agent running etc, and I guess many people prefer HTTPS for the same reason.- No longer see the list of your repos via built-in menu (Ctrl + Shif + H or View \> Show hosted repositories). SoureTree basically cannot sign in with 2FA turned on. (They're "still" busy with implementing app-specific password or token).Anyway, now I prefer SSH, as with HTTPS no matter how I tried (editing account, deleting account and add again, leave account fields blank, do git pull in git bash, edit in Options \> Authentication, ...) it KEEPS asking for password, even in "idle" time (no pull, no push). Drives me nuts literally.

body: I fixed this error after reinstalling sourcetree


author: Dan Parry
body: Hi

I'm having the same problem in Windows 10. Nothing I try will make the password save. I really want to use Sourcetree, but this is a deal-breaker

Thanks

Can the folder be dropped from the bookmark list.
Asked by Lawrence Dol:

The inclusion of the folder in the bookmark list makes it extremely cluttered and hard to read, and further it's provides no benefit because it's **always** truncated unless I make the bookmark panel impractically wide.

Can it please just be dropped, or an option added to suppress it?


Answers:
author: Lawrence Dol
body: And by "folder", I mean the underlying disk folder for each project shown in gray right next to the project name, not the ability to group projects into bookmark folders.

Missing file status window on left side of one repository
Asked by Cameron Johnson:

I'm missing the window on the left for one of my repositories, which means I can't see my branches. All the other repos have the window, but this one doesn't. I'm talking about the one that has File Status, Branches, Tags, and Remotes. Dug through all the menus but no good. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Company license
Asked by Sven Diesendorf:

Hello, is it possible to get an company license for SourceTree or do I need to license every user from my company for Source Tree?

Greetings Sven


Answers:
author: Tim Crall
body: SourceTree is free software but it does require you to register after an initial trial period. There is no charge for registering - they just want your info.


author: Sven Diesendorf

Yes, its free, but its unpracticable to register every user by itself.

SourceTree push badge isn't showing
Asked by boazin:

On some of my repositories, the badge on the push button never updates (after commiting)

I verified that "Check Default remotes" is on (as stated, some of the repos do have the badge)

And even tried "Refresh Remote Status"

The remote is indicated as behind in the graph, but no badge to indicate I need to push


Answers:
author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry

author: boazin
body: Nice guess. Both have only /master...


author: Johannes Kilian
body: Just a guess: Maybe the branch you commited to isn't available on the remote repository yet? (You might never have pushed the branch you're working on ...)

Create a release patch, new version
Asked by Hui Zhao:

Now I have a release 1.0.0.

I just found a bug and already fixed it. So I push it, how to generate a new version? SAY 1.0.1 or 2.0.0 maybe?

And because of stupid, I click "Git Flow" and "Finish the release". It goes to "master" now. I don't know how to do it.

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Seth
body: Ok, so 1.0.0 is a branch.

And you are using git flow, so it sounds like 1.0.0 is a release branch (is it technically release/1.0.0?).

Did you fix the bug on the release branch release/1.0.0? And then you "finished the release"?

It sounds like you're fine. According to the gitflow workflow, the release/1.0.0 branch is not the actual 1.0.0 version. Rather, the point at which that branch is merged into master is version 1.0.0. It should be "tagged" appropriately.

comments: author: Hui Zhao
body: Yes, if it is a re-tag issue. How to change it as 2.0.0 if I make a bit change and commit the code? Steps in SourceTree would you please?


author: Hui Zhao
body: I don't know. Somebody else created "1.0.0" branch for me. Now he is on the vacation and I am stuck here.


author: Seth
body: Well, how did you create the 1.0.0 release? Version numbers are not an integrated feature of git.
Get all files for one branch to my working branch.
Asked by Hui Zhao:

My current branch is "feature\\COMS-260". In the remote there is one branch "hotfix/4.6.7". For some reason, my branch code is mess up.

I want to use all files in branch "hotfix/4.6.7" to overwrite my local branch "feature\\COMS-260".

How to do it? I need Git commands or Sourcetree details.


Answers:
author: Johannes Kilian
body: Your description does not give all needed information - as Seth asked, it's crucial whether some of your erroneous files from branch "feature\\COMS-260" are already pushed to your remote repository and if someone else is tracking branch "feature\\COMS-260" in this case.

Also the information is missing whether some commits on your branch "feature\\COMS-260" should be preserved, or whether all commits on branch "feature\\COMS-260" are a mess (and maybe deleted therefore).

I'll try to describe the solutions for the two thinkable situations (assuming some of your commits on branch "feature\\COMS-260" should be preserved):

**\*\*\*\*\*\*\* To be on the safe side, make a backup of your local repository in case of some failure ...\*\*\*\*\*\*\***

Case 1: erroneous files **already pushed** to branch "feature\\COMS-260"

1. being on branch "feature\\COMS-260", do a "*git pull*" to be sure you are in sync with the remote repository
2. identify the commit-ids of the commits containing the erroneous files
3. do a "*git revert ....*" on those files to revert the erroneous commits
4. this will lead to new commits - removing the changes of the used commits
5. do a *git push*
6. -\> Now your erroneous commits are undone - your messed commits are still available, but there are also reverting commits, undoing this mess
7. merge the changes from branch "hotfix/4.6.7" to "feature\\COMS-260"
8. you're done a can start reimplementing your messed up branch code ...

Case 2: erroneous files **NOT already pushed** to branch "feature\\COMS-260"

* identify the last non messed up commit on your branch "feature\\COMS-260"
* CAVEAT: this commit-id MUST NOT be already pushed to your remote repository
* being on branch "feature\\COMS-260", do a *git reset --HARD commitId*"
* -\> your messed up commits are removed from repository (not visible anymore)
* do a *git pull* to be sure to have all recent changes from remote
* merge the changes from branch "hotfix/4.6.7" to "feature\\COMS-260"
* you're done a can start reimplementing your messed up branch code ...


author: Seth
body: That is one solution. If anyone else is tracking feature/COMS-260, they'll have some headaches.


author: Hui Zhao
body: Yes, it has been to the remote. Nobody use it but me. I try to use the command "git reset --HARD commitId". commitid is for hotfix/4.6.7. Not sure if it is right.


author: Seth
body: Has feature/COMS-260 been pushed to any remotes? If so, do you know whether any other developers have used it?
Sourcetree keeps crashing

git pull without online repository
Asked by srz2:

I know this is probably a bad question but I am trying to get my software team at my company to make a move to git by using SourceTree. I know one issue bound to come up from them is how do they knowto get changes from other people. Specifically if someone modifies the code and wants to update our boss.

I am well aware online repos have pull requests which work well, but my company would never take our repos online nor would they consider installing an enterprise version. So my only solution to this is just emailing back and forth for people to do manual fetching/pulling.

I want to know if there is a way, specifically in SourceTree, to let some user now about a change (essentially the equivalent of a pull request), if they are remotes of the repo.


Answers:
author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry
body: Not having a central server in an enterprise environment is completely insane. Not having something where you can have pull requests is simply a waste of the company's most valuable resource: developer time.

I think the first thing you should do is to try to convince whoever makes the budgeting decisions, that a locally hosted, professional Git server (e.g. Stash or GitHub Enterprise) is worth the money.

If this does not work, I would go with Seth's suggestion above that you have a file share on a server (make sure it has backups!) containing bare repos that everybody clones/pulls/pushes to. It is very important that there is one place where you have the "official" version of the repos, which are used as the basis of releasing the software (and the backups, in case something goes sideways).

Once you have a central place, people can periodically fetch (SourceTree has an option to do this in the background, by default it is on and happens every 10 mins.) to see if there are commits to pull.


author: Seth
body: Git is the right choice for the situation you're describing - you want de-centralized source control. I've never used git that way, but there are some descriptions of basic distributed workflows here: <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workflows>You might also inquire on the git mailing list about what other common workflows are out there.It looks to me (no experience) like any decentralized workflow is going to require more discipline and communication on the part of the developers. If that's going to be a problem, you should definitely consider setting up a local, central git instance, and have everyone push/pull from it.


author: srz2
body: Currently we use SVN (poorly and incorrectly) and use it more of a dropbox like thing. We also have a file system on a network, so setting up a git server is a no go as well.Basically what I am going to have them do is map a network drive to our "Git Repository Folder" which will contain the bare repos. They'll clone and push to that. I will teach them how to add each other as remotes.


author: Seth
body: How is this managed currently?And you don't need an "enterprise" git server. Just install git on any internal server: <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server>
Version Control Safety
Asked by Chris Johnston:

Hi, I have just learned some things about version control. I find the concepts very useful, thing I have needed for a long time. I am using SourceTree for my version control program. I am interested in trying the Git GUI program as well. My question is when using version control software do you risk corrupting you file? I tested SourceTree on a FileMaker solution (file) I have. It worked, it made versions and I can revert to different ones. Is this absolutely safe for the file? It feels safe with text, because you see the content but with binary files it is non-evident how it makes the changes. This makes me feel like I could lose or corrupt the file. Also it makes me feel like I could hear a company like FileMaker or Adobe say "we don't support that!". Thanks


Answers:
author: Chris Johnston
body: That helps more in understanding. I take it that VCS means Version Control System, funny how it also could be acronym for question title. I see how it can be very useful and help you keep version to be safe. I was just making sure that certain files that don't have a typical save process will not develop problems. I will continue to research as I use an develop with VCS' and SourceTree (I am loving it already). Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks


author: Gabor Nagy _Midori_
body: Of course version control systems will not corrupt your file, they are used in mission critical software for many years in all noticeable software companies.

On the contrary: they will make sure you never loose a file you ever committed, you can get them back even years later. Some VCS' make it even close to impossible to remove any change from the history after committing it. So using a VCS for development is absolutely recommended, moreover, it is an absolute must if you do not want to loose your work :smile:

VCS' differ in their capabilities in handling large binary files: some are better, some are not but they are all safe to use. If you are learning to use a VCS for the first time, you can also try Mercurial because it is said to be slightly easier and more user-focused.

Don't want to commit a file
Asked by carolyn cheng:

I have a file I need to change on my local system. I don't want to commit it. I don't want to remove it from repository either. How should I do that?


Answers:
author: Tim Crall
body: Can you just refrain from staging it when you do future commits?


author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry
body: If you always need to modify it, but not commit it, it probably should not be under source control. Delete it, commit the deletion, and add it to the .gitignore file. (Restore the file afterwards, if/when needed locally.) It will never show up as an uncommitted change.

ConfiForm Save Back Info to Form that is used as Smart Multi Row input
Asked by Maximilian Herbert:

Hi there,

is the following possible:

Form1:

Field1: Name (as Text)

Field2: Smartphone (Smart Multi Row (input from Form2))

Form2 (input for Field 2 in Form1):

Field1: Phonetype

Field2: PhoneValue

Now some1 fills up the Form 1 and enters, that he has 2 Smartphones. So in Form2 two records get created. But there is no link to the name entered in Form1.   

How can I get the link to the name in both entries getting created in form2?


Answers:

```
id:[entry.Field2.transform(id).join( OR id:)]

Set global access for Confluence software
Asked by kgshashi:

Greetings !

In Jira, we have an option of giving a Custom created group with default access to Jira Software. Is this something I can achieve it for Confluence as well?

Background: I would like to create a group called "ABC_application-users".

I want all the users of my company to part for this group and able to allow user to login to Jira and Conflence

"ABC_application-users"

- jira-software-users

-confluence-users

ie instead of having every user to request for two groups, I would like to have them to part of "ABC_application-users" group by default and additionally request for more business roles.

Thanks

Shashi
