Why was the commit icon changed from the ring?
Asked by Justin Smith:

Did someone lack a sense of humor? It made me smile almost daily. It's admittedly a small thing, but the new icon feels stodgy and really generic. :-/


Answers:
author: Seth
body: If that's your perspective, then yes, many people lacked a sense of humor. When people complained about the new icons, I saw frequent mentions of "why does the commit icon look like ring"? Atlassian staff must've finally got fed up with it.

Personally, I've never really cared. It says "Commit" underneath, so that makes it perfectly clear to me what the button does, and after 2-3 days of use, I just instinctively know where the Commit icon is, regardless of whether the image seems to have any real meaning behind it.

comments: author: Justin Smith
body: Hah, funny that there were so many complaints (though I suppose I am now amongst those who would complain about an icon). I agree that in this case the icon itself makes little difference to usability, which is why I enjoyed the little visual pun, while it lasted.

Connect Gitlab
Asked by kevin Patricio Gua?a Tul:

Hi People , I have a user with gitlab account i have created the key rsa with puttygen and I have added the public key in gitlab but qhen I try connect gitlab with sourcetree...ireceived the error(using openssh)

Can you help me please ?

body: Hi sorry it not works......

1_ I have the gitlab account

2_ Installed source tree and puttygen in my windows

3_ I have created a new public key with puttygen

4_ i have added to GitLab

5_in Source tree i go to tools , options ,and selected the key in "ssh Key" with the option Openssh

6_the key iy save in C:/users/kguana/.ssh/

7_To try Clone aany project of Gitlab i receive this error:

The OpenSSH agent is running but the server still rejected your connection.You may need to add the correct key to your agent by selecting Tools \> Add SSH Key.

PLease note that manually logging in with a username and password is note supported via OpenSSH.Please switch to HTTPS URL or change the SSH cient option to PuTTY/PLINK inTools \> options

\*I need use the option Openssh\*

comments: author: indieweb
body: I think [@tonka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/551258) is right - you need to convert the Putty key to an OpenSSH key.

* Open PuTTYgen
* Click **Load**
* Locate + select your private key
* Click **Conversions \> Export OpenSSH key**
* Save to C:\\Users\\yourusername\\.ssh\\id_rsa

This worked for me...


author: tonka
body: Hey,

Do you store the private Key as id_rsa in die \~/.ssh directory?

Do you use other hoster like github on the same machine?

Greetings tonka

author: tonka
body: Yes, you should create \~/.ssh if it does not exist. Copy your private key with the name id_rsa into this directory.

I see that you use puttygen to create your ssh key pair, so i think you have to convert it to a openssh key before.

You could also use plink/pagent with your puttygen key instead of openssh (which as far as i know is the recommended way on windows for SourceTree). You can set your putty private key in the settings of sourcetree (i think it is on the first tab). Close pagent (look in your taskbar) and then restart source. If you have a correct setup you can double-click on pagent - there should be a line with your key in it - if it is empty, your config in sourcetree for your pagent key is not set/not correct.

forget my second question because if you have no \~/.ssh the question is no relavant.

SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Asked by Carl Steffen:

Hello, I recently renewed my SSL cert on my git server - and now I get an error "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate". I've dug through countless stack exchange articles (and many other posts) regarding this error, and have tried a lot of solutions including completely removing GIT and SourceTree from my machine, manually deleting any remaining data including my source tree profile info, and re-installing.

I feel like the new cert might have a new root cert that isn't implicitly trusted or something. You can see the cert (and entire cert chain) if you navigate here: <https://gitlab.stonefin.com>.

Any ideas on what else I may be facing?

Thanks,

Carl

No Preview Available in side-by-side diff for binary files
Asked by Ed Marty:

A long, long time ago, SourceTree would show both the old version and new version for binary files with a valid QuickView (eg. images). Now, it only shows the After, and the Before always displays "No Preview Available". There is a button labeled "Open" underneath it that does nothing.

Is this a setting that has been turned off somehow, or is there something broken with my installation?

That doesn't look like what's happened here and I'm not able to recreate your screenshot by resizing my windows, but I'd at least give a try to trying to see if you can grab some hidden border between the file window and the tool bar and expand the graph window that seems to be missing. I don't necessarily think that's it, though.

sourcetree follow command?

Move files and folder to another path keeps history?
Asked by OscarAlarcon:

I have created a new folder inside my local repository using windows explorer. After that, I have moved a previous folder inside this new one. And then, I have renamed this folder moved with a new name.

The folder I have moved and rename has files where I have done changes and commit them.

Will I lose these commits when I move the files to a new renamed folder?

On sourcetree I see that they are going to be renamed but I'm not sure if I will lose all commits history with this action.


Answers:
author: Seth
body: If Git recognizes the change as a "rename", then it will keep the file history linked.

sourcetree 2.3 icons bug (blandness)
Asked by Sajaki:

hi,

i updated to SC 2.3 from 2.1, and now the icons look pretty bland. will you be fixing this ? I'm missing the colorful big icons from previous versions.


Answers:
author: Roy Leban
body: Has anybody from Atlassian responded to this? I don't care about blandness but I care that all the icons look the same unless you look closely. Commit, Pull and Push all look like the same icon unless you look closely. Fetch is only slight different. With the previous icons, these were all distinct from one another. Also, I'd like to get the Checkout icon back. Why was it removed?


author: QwazyWabbit
body: Jony Ive sets the trend at Apple and right or wrong, the world follows. He's turned OS X into blue-grey blandness and iOS lost its personality, largely, I think, to reduce the memory load. I don't know how much conformance Apple imposes on app designers to get their apps approved. Look for the flat, bland trend to reverse in the next 3 to 5 years. You'll be so acclimated to bland by then that you'll be complaining about the garish colors.

All the files are showing up as needing to be staged.
Asked by Anand Mahadevan:

I created a new branch from dev and all the files are showing up as needing to be staged. I searched around and this apparently has to do with some CRLF setting?

In my .gitconfig file (C:\\users\\myself\\.gitconfig) I have the lines

text = auto   
autocrlf = true

As per what I saw I created a .gitattributes file in this same folder and that has the line

# Set the default behavior, in case people don't have core.autocrlf set.  
\* text=auto

<br />

Not knowing what I am doing I also created the same file with same contents in the root folder of the git project (the one that has the .git subfolder)

None of this seems to help.

"git status" command works correctly and shows only the files needing to be staged.  

I'd like to use sourcetree, so could you please help?

how do i revert a pull request done on master by my team mate? which command to use on source tree
Asked by Lalitha:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false revert --no-edit 33caab3d919b176504aed8ed57edcdd93fd8bc5a  
error: Commit 33caab3d919b176504aed8ed57edcdd93fd8bc5a is a merge but no -m option was given.

fatal: revert failed

Completed with errors, see above.


Answers:
author: Tim Crall
body: Don't use SourceTree, you'll need to go to the git command line for this.

Undoing a merge is basically similar to undoing any other commit, but there are a few additional complications. If you are lucky enough to catch your erroneous merge before pushing it, you can just use **reset --hard** . If you've already pushed, or if you're following best practice and doing your commits via Pull Requests, then you'll need to use **git revert**. But in order to use git revert with a merge commit, you need to use the -m flag to specify which of the commit's parents to use as a baseline.

A merge commit, to Git, is just a commit with two parents. Typically one of them represents the branch you "merged into" (probably the master branch or the development branch, depending on your workflow) and the other represents the branch that you merged (such as a feature branch). But to Git, they are just parent 1 and parent 2.

The "merged into" branch represents your baseline while the "merged" branch represents the changes that you want to revert. It seems like the "merged into" branch is usually P1, but I wouldn't count on this - examine your Git history to determine for sure. If you look at the details of a commit in SourceTree or using the command

```
git show --pretty=%P <commit>
```

the first parent listed will always be P1.

Once you've determined which parent is your baseline, the command is

```
git revert -m <baseline> <commit>
```

where baseline is the number 1 or 2 (or, rarely, another number for a commit with more than two parents)

Show file difference as split files (original and modified) rather than one file with all the changes
Asked by Josh Hunt:

Is this possible? I can't seem to find a view option that does this.


Answers:
author: QwazyWabbit
body: Sorry, bad advice about side-by-side view inside SourceTree. You must configure an external diff tool and launch it by right clicking the file name in the staging lists to get a side-by-side difference view. I use FileMerge on Mac and WinMerge on Windows.

comments: author: Josh Hunt
body: Thanks, I wasn't searching for the right term. So I think the answer is that it's not possible in SourceTree and I would have to open the files in an external diff Tool?


author: QwazyWabbit
body: That's correct. SourceTree seems to be oriented to be strictly a GUI GIT interface.

Sourcetree not showing files that it's going to remove with a commit
Asked by robertlagrant:

On SourceTree 1.7.0.32509 we're getting a strange problem, which is setting us back - when committing, we see the changes about to be committed in the usual way, code in the bottom right hand pane for each change listed in the staging pane.

However afterwards we see more changes were actually committed than were shown in SourceTree. The most damaging of which is it commits removes, even in folders that the person committing has never touched.

We first thought we solved this with Tools -\> Options -\> Git -\> Show file changes from all sides of a merge, but it is still happening.

Is this a bug? Are we missing another option or view? We can't upgrade to the latest version because we are in an airgapped environment and Atlassian are no longer supporting that with the tool.


Answers:
author: Seth
body: For uncommitted changes, there is a filter above the list. What value is selected in that filter? "All", "Pending", "Modified" are some popular options.

You probably want "Pending", which shows all files that have any status besides "Clean" (includes modified, added, deleted, conflicted, untracked, etc).

"Modified" only shows files that are tracked and have changes to commit.

comments: author: robertlagrant
body: Thanks, I hadn't noticed that before! Which is the right one to see everything that's going to change in the repo?

sourcetree registration
Asked by Dallas Ransom:

Trying to set up SourceTree, but when it comes to the registration part, I have a choice between using and existing account and going to 'my Attlassian.'

If I click on the 'Use an Existing Account' a box with a spinner appears and nothing happens.

If I click on 'Go to My Atlassian' I end up at my Licencing page which advises me to go to Preferences \> Registration and choose the license. But the latest version of Source Tree doesn't have that facility - so I am stuck.

Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: thinsoldier
body: Wait for the boc with the spinner to load a login webpage on the Atlassian site. Have lots and lots of patience.

After the page finally loads, log in with your account.

You will see a success page after you log in.

Now wait. I tell people to go watch Lord of the Rings.

Eventually the window with the web page will close by itself and you can continue to the next step of the install process.

Table width missing?
