When adding new Tag it ?creates? a bew ?branch?
Asked by celsomtrindade:

I'm new using SourceTree (and git/version control in general), so I don't know if this is the expected behavior, but I don't think so.

I have a project with some commits. When I started adding tags to this project I noticed it started to create new "branchs" automatically in some tags. Not all of the tags does this, and it's also not an actual branch, but it displays some different colors, which is making me confused.

See these images below:

Before adding tag "0.3.0":

![iEjZy](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1536iB94C2CDC32EB738C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "iEjZy")

After adding tag "0.3.0":

![njb7q](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1537i6091C333EE3558AB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "njb7q")

As you can see, it created a new color/line, kind of representanting a new branch in paralalell. I don't know what I may have done that caused this, but I'd like to be able to create new tags and keep only one branch.

Also, depending on the number of tags I add, it can have more lines/colors. At one time I had 6 different colors.

How can I solve this?


Answers:
author: Mike Corsaro
body: Hello! It looks like those are actually 2 different branches (keep in mind that colors are not always the same for each branch). If you look at the commits in the first picture, you can see they're actually the same commits as the pinkish color line in the second picture. Here's a img with the blue line faded out, and the orginal line colored to be pink:

Hopefully that clears it up.

comments: author: celsomtrindade
body: But inside the "Branch" menu I onlye have one, which is "Master". Also, I didn't created any other new brach, the only thing I did was these steps:

Right click \> Tag... \> Add tag

After confirm to add a new tag, that thing happened, and I don't know why.


author: Mike Corsaro
body: I assume there's someone else who works on this project? After adding a tag SourceTree will typically perform a fetch, which will update the Log with other branches other people may have created.


author: celsomtrindade
body: No, I'm the only person using this. The only thing different from commiting I did was to return to a previous commit to undo some changes (Reset current branch to this commit), and then continued using it normally.

This is why I think this is weid.


author: Mike Corsaro
body: If you follow the blue branch, what's the newest dot? I suspect you may have created a detached head by returning to a previous commit.


author: celsomtrindade
body: Actually I removed all the tags because it was a really big mess! I had over 6 different colors/lines, it was impossible to follow along with that.

To add on this comment, when I remove all the tags, it stays like the first image, just one "branch"/color and everything in order. Just like it was supposed to be.
cherry pick a search result
Asked by royi halperin:

i want to search for a commit and once i see the proper commit on the search results i want to cherry pick it to another branch, i can't find the way to do it.


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Royi! You can not do that directly from the search view, but once you find the commit you can right click on it and select **See in Full History View** . Then you'll be able to select the **Cherry pick** option.

If you'd like to be able to do this differently, you can sumit a feature request at [jira.atlassian.com](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa) by clicking the **Create** button :)

Hope this helps!

SourceTree left pane view spinning, won't load
Asked by Wade Ledbetter:

I saw another post on this same issue that appeared as 'related content' after I posted. Strange my search didn't find it. I couldn't find a way to go back and delete this post so I'm just pre-pending this comment at the top.

I recently upgraded to SourceTree 2.0.20.1. After that upgrade one of my projects won't load the left pane. It just sits with the Windows 'busy' spinning icon (see attached image). All my other projects seem to load fine. The history shows fine and I can commit to the repository, just can't view my branches in the left pane. All my project remotes reside on the same VSO git server. Any ideas?

MacOS can't connect to GitHub
Asked by brambow:

SourceTree version: 2.5.1

Problem: Can't successfully connect to GitHub repositories via HTTPS or SSH

I am not using two-factor authentication.

Behavior: I can connect to my Github Account successfully (using HTTPS or SSH)

However, when I try to connect to remote repos, I get an error message like this:

Sometimes the error is 'Could not authorize request with the available token' and other times it is 'Bad credentials'.


Answers:
author: Manju
body: Can you please try with version 2.5.2?

You can download the build from <https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/sourcetree-betas/downloads/OSX_Latest.zip>

Also, you can delete all your keychain items for GitHub before adding it agian on SourceTree just to make sure there isn't some old token leading to the same issue again.

Thanks!

What's the keyboard shortcut for opening commit dialog in Windows without auto-staging?
Asked by Geir Gullestad Pettersen:

Commit dialog seems to have 3 ways to be opened:

1. Mouse click on "Commit" button (toolbar)
2. SHIFT+CTRL+C (Committ All)
3. SHIFT+ALT+C (Commit Selected)

which currenlty behave like this for me:

**1. Mouse click on "Commit" button**

*Opens commit dialog using whichever view was used last, "Split view staging" or "No staging".* *Does **not** make any changes to staged/unstaged files unless explicitly stage/unstage files/hunks/lines.*

I prefer the "Split view staging" -view, so this button gives me a dialog I like. However I'm a keyboard shortcut addict and it feels cumbersome having to use the mouse..

**2. SHIFT+CTRL+C (Commit All)**

*Opens commit dialog using whichever view was used last, "Split view staging" or "No staging". Also ++auto-stages ALL unstaged changes++. (I see them jump from unstaged to staged right after commit dialog opens)*

So this gives me my preferred staging view, however it autostages unstaged changes which is extremely annoying as I have to unstage the changes I don't want to include in my commit.

**3. SHIFT+ALT+C (Commit Selected)**

*Opens commit dialog using "No staging" -view.*

I don't use this because I prefer the "split view staging" -view.

**Bottom line**

***How do I get a keyboard shortcut for #1 ?***

I.e same as #2 but without the auto-staging. I actually used to have this, and believe it was shortcut #2 (but not sure as I don't actually remember many keyboard shortcuts but rely on motor memory..)

If it was #2 then autostaging got switched on for me yesterday, and it's been driving me nuts ever since. I have not been able to find a setting for turning it off.

What is the latest version of SourceTree for OS X?
Asked by Andrew Law:

One of my machines prompted me to update yesterday. It now claims to be running version 2.5.2.

My laptop is running version 2.5.1 which it claims is the latest version. The website seems to offer version 2.5.1a to download but the release notes refer to a 2.5.2 version so I guess it must be a genuine release. Did it get pulled for some reason?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Andy! SourceTree 2.5.1 is the official current 'latest' and that's the version you can download from the website. We're currently rolling out 2.5.2, but we're not doing it for all our users at the same time, that's why you have it in one of your machines but can not get it in the other. You'll get it eventually, don't worry :)

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Cheers,

Ana

If you'd like to change the group your machine belongs to, you can do that from your terminal

```
defaults write com.TorusKnot.SourceTreeNotMAS "UpdateGroup" 1

and replacing the number 1 by the number of the group you'd like to belong to. Keep in mind that this will reset after a release.

Where can I download the previous version of SourceTree for Windows?
Asked by pinebit:

The newest version is just terrible: it does not scale right on high-dpi screens (all bugs are submitted but not even in progress), it does not track modified files right (some of them appear and disappear in the pending changes list randomly), and so on.

How to write table of Jira/Confluence Users (with specific data) into a table on Confluence page?
Asked by Stefan Salzl:

Dear community,

I have a very specific requirement:

For accounting reasons users have been grouped into user groups per department (Jira as well as Confluence). Now there should be a evaluation/list of those groups and users with several more specific data like the following:

department group \| userName \| fullName \| email \| createDate \| permissions per application (Jira: each project the user has a role, Confluence: each space the user has permission in)

Scriptrunner is available in both applications (Jira \& Confluence). Some questions/thougths that came to my mind:

1. I was thinking about getting all these data with scriptrunner natively but I could not figure out how to fetch "createDate" in Confluence (in Jira there is a method for this. unfortunately not in confluence)

2. I?m pretty sure all this information is stored in the DBs. I just don?t know how to figure out the query for that (could at least find a good overview for Jira DB here:  
<https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/database-user-and-group-tables/>  

Does anyone know something similar for Confluence?  
Furthermore: Could anyone help with the query? I know how to fetch user information but not how to get Space/Project permissions.

3. After fetching all data: what would be the best way to store it an bring it into a table on a confluence page? RestAPI ?   
I furthermore have "Advanced tables" plugin in confluence that could create tables from a JSON so I was thinking about a scriptrunner endpoint that can then be called by the plugin. Unfortunatelly I?m not that familiar with creating an endpoint (and also would need point 2 for that).

Hope anyone can help or at least give helpful hints that might lead to a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Best  
Stefan


Answers:
author: Stefan Salzl
body: At least I could figure out point 3 by myself and create an endpoint that delivers a JSON that can be fetched and displayed as a table by "advanced tables" in confluence.

How do you save a Whiteboard as a template?
Asked by Ralph Walsarie:

Hi,

We have a fun way to have an interactive PDP session with our colleagues by using post-its on a whiteboard. I've now created the setup in Whiteboard for a PDP, yet I would like to save it as a template so we can use the same setup for all colleagues.

Yet I can't seem to find a way to do so, nor can the internet tell me how to. Anybody that can help me or give me tips and tricks? for now, I think I just copy and paste.

Here's the Atlassian Jira issue for adding custom templates: [CONFCLOUD-76623](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-76623)

I would recommend voting for and watching it for future updates.

How to create static content of Markdown for confluence pages
Asked by Babu, Petluri:

Hi Team,

Planning for migrating from server to cloud.

Please let us know how to create static data for **Markdown for confluence plugin.**

**Thanks,**

**Sudheer**


Answers:
author: Dam
body: Hi [@Babu, Petluri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5294981)

Not sure about what you mean with "create static data for **Markdown for confluence plugin."**

But I faced a problem during a Confluence Cloud migration: the Markdown for confluence (appfire app) was used a lot on Confluence Server, and my customer didn't want to buy the same app for Cloud.

So I had to manually migrate page content... Luckily in Cloud using the legacy editor you can use the native macro **Markdown** to convert markdown to content in a Confluence page.

So for each page that contains the Markdown macro for the app Markdown for confluence I had to:

1. edit the page
2. copy the content of the macro Markdown for confluence
3. open the macro menu in the editor and choose the native macro Markup
4. paste the content of the macro Markdown for confluence
5. click the insert button to convert markup to content
6. you can then convert the page to the new editor in Confluence cloud
7. check the content and reformat a bit
8. click Save

I edited more than 100 pages... manually... It was a bit long to do but at the end, no content lost, no paid app for markup...

I hope this helps a bit.   
Dam.
