How do I view the left column with multiple repositories using ST v2.3.1?
Asked by Rich Howland:

I am using SourceTree v2.3.1 running under Windows 7 Pro, with all updates installed.

I am new to SourceTree and am viewing videos on Youtube and Pluralsight and many of those videos show a column on the left showing multiple repositories.

I do not see this column in my program.

What should I do to show this column.

author: Rich Howland
body: Thank you Mikael

I suspected as much, but was hoping there was a shorcut key or something that would expose it.

I would have found it handy with the work I am doing.

Thanks again.


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Those videos are based on older versions of Sourcetree, the bookmark pane was removed as of 2.x and replaced by the tabs you see now.

How can I unistall an older version of Source Tree?
Asked by Franco Bucciarelli:

I get a message when I start Source Tree: Source Tree has found an older version.... The following installs were found: 1.8.3 - (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Atlassian\\SourceTree\\), but how can I proceed with uninstall?


Answers:
author: minnsey
body: Sourcetree 1.8.3 should be listed in Windows Add/Remove programs dialog.  

You should be able to uninstall it from there.  

However it is possible that can fail, e.g when space saving tools have removed the uninstaller.

comments: author: Franco Bucciarelli
body: Hi Michael, thanks for your reply I have now uninstalled it.
How to create a new remote repo on github using SourceTree
Asked by bholm:

Given the time I've spent searching on Atlassian site and not finding anything, I must be asking a rare question. So hopefully this is not something obvious I overlooked.

I have a local git repo on my computer. I am ready to push it out to a remote repo that doesn't yet exist on github. I went into Settings in the top-right corner and selected Remote tab. Then I clicked Add button.

It then asks for Remote name (it doesn't exist so I type in a new name I want to give it on github). Then it wants the URL/path. Below that input is an Optional extended integration section where if you select Github, it provides the github URL. It asks for your username input. If I specify my github account path there, why does it ask for the URL/path above?

This is confusing to me. There is no on screen Help. Searching results in nothing so far.


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: You need to create the new repo in Github first, then you can follow these instructions on how to import your local repo into it <https://help.github.com/articles/importing-a-git-repository-using-the-command-line/>

comments: author: bholm
body: I've reviewed your solution but it doesn't use ST. My question about the URL/Path vs the Optional extended integration section details has not been answered. It seems redundant to me.

I've created a new remote repo on github.com and now want to use ST to "hook it up".


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: The URL/Path is the one you get from Github, and you can either set it up using the steps outlined in link above, or enter it via Sourcetree. They both do the same, it updates the config file for the repository so it knows where the remote is. Looking at the Github instructions compared to Bitbucket is looks like Github needs a bare copy in order be able to import an existing local repository, so using the Settings option in Sourcetree may or may not work.

The optional extended integration allows you to create pull requests directly from within Sourcetree.


author: bholm
body: Hopefully, Atlassian will see the confusing aspect of the Remote tab input fields and provide some clarity through revising the UI or adding help text in the form. For me it appears redundant overlap of requested information unless I'm missing something in my understanding.


author: bholm
body: Are you saying there is no way to create a new repo from the ST app?

comments: author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Correct, out of the box you cannot create remote repositories from within Sourcetree, they have to be initiated in Github first. If you want to do it from within Sourcetree you would have to create a script that uses Github's REST API.

Git Credential Manager for Windows won't go away
Asked by Ryan Long:

I want to get rid of Git Credential Manager Windows so that it stops popping up.

It seems to popup everytime sourcetree requests an update from my bitbucket account.

I have version 2.1.10.0 of Source Tree,

I have tried numerous things to get rid of the prompt like:

1. Authentication tab in tools and both Oauth and Basic password resets.

2. Working with Git Credential Manager directly.

Nothing seems to work.

I saw in a forum to upgrade to [version 2.5.1](https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/sourcetree-betas/downloads/?_ga=2.90648152.312609751.1509383212-550315766.1490017669) (public alpha) to solve this problem as it is identified as a bug, but I don't want to wipe out my current repositories with an upgrade.

Will upgrading wipe out my repo's? Is upgrading to version 2.5.1 the best solution?

SourceTree: embedded git can't be automatically installed
Asked by Daniel H?nig:

When SourceTree 2.3.1.0 tries to install embedded git, it runs into a timeout. That might be my company's firewall.

So I manually typed the indicated address in my browser and it would download the file. However, the place where to put the embedded git directory it is unknown to me.

Questions:

* what is the correct location to put embedded git? Can it be directly copied over or does it need some more installation and making-it-known within SourceTree?
* For those cases where the download fails, can you offer an easy download possibility (e.g. by making the path in the dialogue at least hightlighteable/copyable by the mouse)? And make the above asked information about the path somehow obvious from within SourceTree?


Answers:
author: minnsey
body: Hi  

Yes, Git is a sizeable install :)  

Sourcetree installs its copy of Git into %localpaddata%\\Atlassian\\Sourcetree\\git_local and yes you can simple write over the top of it. Do it while Sourcetree and Pagaent/PuTTY are not running though to avoid any issues about overwriting files.  

We can certainly look into making that information more easily available.

comments: author: Daniel H?nig
body: I'm pretty sure you mean %localappdata% rather than %localpaddata% ;)

Apart from that, it works, thanks!

Syntax error in git commandline created by SourceTree
Asked by Daniel H?nig:

I'm trying to create a tag using SourceTree.

When triggering the tag creation, SourceTree opens a window with the full error log, saying

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false tag -v -a -m "My message" A.00.01 27c5ead3fd84ea186f39415cd12bdc12bf8922d1  
usage: git tag \[-a \| -s \| -u \<key-id\>\] \[-f\] \[-m \<msg\> \| -F \<file\>\] \<tagname\> \[\<head\>\]  

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

If I understand the git output correctly, it doesn't understand the parameter list that SourceTree is passing in.  
What's going on, can I somehow fix this via a setting?

I'm using SourceTree 2.3.1.0 and the external git version 2.14.3.windows.1 (can't install the embedded one, I'm going to open another question for that)

Edit: the offending parameters seem to be -v and the two -c ones.

Turn off the verbose mode in Tools/Options/Git tab.

Checking in first time code
Asked by Michael Barber:

New user with SourceTree. I created a project on GitHub and I'm trying to check my local repo in for the first time into the "empty" project. It seems to be a bit of a chicken and the egg situation with the software.

Scenario 1: In SourceTree, click on Clone. Attempt to clone the "empty" GitHub into the "real-code" local Repo gives error: Cannot Clone into Non-Empty Folder.

I can clone the "empty" remote GitHub repository into an empty folder but that is not going to do me any code because my local repository in "MY EXISTING" folder is where the "FIRST" incarnation of the code IS.

Scenario 2: Click Create in SourceTree, create a repository on GitHub from local Repo. Same Error.

Does SourceTree have a get-init function to initialize the existing folder and source for SourceTree/Git?

There are only so many buttons in SourceTree and for the most part there are no more to click on that I can see. Exactly HOW are you supposed to do this? How do you get the first code checked-in? It kinda gives you a bad taste to immediately get stuck with new software for a common first time use scenario.


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: If my understanding is correct, you're trying to "upload" your repo from your local machine to Github, is this correct?

In that case, I'd just follow the instructions provided by Github on how to do so, and once Github has my project I'd use Sourcetree to connect between Github and local.

You can find Github's instructions at [Adding an existing project](https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/).

Let us know if you have any questions!

Regards,

Ana

comments: author: Michael Barber
body: Ana: It was a mess. I figured it out without your instructions but did roughly the same thing.   

I got it to work by dropping to the command line and doing a git init for my local folder. This created the local repo which sourcetree really has no way to do *natively* do --- and "it should"!

So via the command line I had to do this:

    cd existing_foldergit initgit add .git commit

Now, that still won't do anything because there is still no way to directly merge the local repo you just created with the github remote repo because you can't checkout and commit the remote repo since the local repo is basically on a branch outside of SCC. I had to checkout the remote, pull it, then rebase my local repo to it, then commit the whole thing.   

Really all of this should be ONE Single command called "check code in for the first time" to a remote Repo.

It is working now, but this "chicken and the egg" problem gives any new user the feeling that SourceTree is not ready for prime time. Giving someone instructions to go to the command line for a GUI tool makes no sense whatsoever.

Database access for conflunece spaces
Asked by sanjay_sapra:

Hi Team ,

We want to run our LLM models on our confluence space/pages Database . Please suggest how i can access the same ..


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hi Sanjay,

You have no access to the database on Cloud, so you can't do this. Even if you could, you would have to write a pile of code to render the pages to your LLM in a readable format (the raw data contains all the formatting and markup in a Confluence page, which you probably wouldn't want to train your LLM to understand)

You will need to create code that can read pages over the REST API.

This is vague. What state is the application after you've migrated the DB and shared-home folder when you RUN it? Errors? Logs? Then people might help you better.

What are the files to backup before updating confluence 6.3 to the latest version?
Asked by JPernia:

What are the files to backup before updating confluence 6.3 to the latest version?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The simple answer is "all of them, and the database" - get a database backup, and then backup everything in \<confluence install\> and \<confluence home\>

comments: author: JPernia
body: ok, I don't know confluence, that's why I ask the question, I don't know which files or their location, that is the idea of ??this question, since a week ago I updated to the latest version and it was done without problems, but it left me all the default configuration files, and I don't know what they are, what they are called or their location... Can someone help me with a link or documentation that tells me this information so I know what to back up before the update?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Your backup should be of the home directory, the installation directory, and the database. You don't need documentation to list them all (it will vary by version and type of installation anyway), just backup all three areas.

When you run the installer to do the upgrade, it will tell you which files you have modified away from the distributed default versions, so you know which files you may have to modify to incorporate any customisations you have made.

If you look at "system info", this will also list all the files you have modified. Generally, most people will find only one or two modifications - an application propterties file (in a sub-directory of the installation directory), and the config file that contains the database settings (this is in the root of the home directory)


author: Reese
body: If you're running on a virtual machine, a snapshot or full backup might be easier for rollback if needed, as well.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: As [@Reese](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5263569) says, a complete backup (snapshot) will work really well.

You may review the following guides which show the difference between Cloud and DC to make your decision:

- [Compare Confluence Cloud and Data Center features (atlassian.com)](https://www.atlassian.com/migration/assess/compare-cloud-data-center/confluence)

- [Compare Atlassian Cloud vs Data Center \| Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com/migration/assess/compare-cloud-data-center)

*2. How to setup conflunce in own organization DC 3.*

The following guide details setup for DC: [Confluence Installation Guide \| Confluence Data Center and Server 8.6 \| Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-installation-guide-135681.html)

*3. Is it possible to access conflunce cloud Database for our account*

You should now be able to access the data using Atlassian Data Lake product. You may read more about this at [Atlassian Data Lake \| Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com/platform/analytics/what-is-atlassian-data-lake#what-is-the-atlassian-data-lake)

For most cases, it makes sense to go to Atlassian Cloud compared to using and managing Confluence Data Center on your own.

Hope that helps.
