Github login issue
Asked by Ian Chan:

After the recent series of Sourcetree upgrades, it appears that my SSH keys no longer work with Sourcetree. The application now repeatedly asks me for the GitHub account password and fails to save the password even though the 'save...' checkbox is selected.


Answers:
author: Ian Chan
body: Steve's answer helped me resolve the issue. The correct repo link was "ssh://git@github.com/\<repo-username\>/\<repo-slug\>


author: Ian Chan
body: Yes, you're right. SSH in Sourcetree is working on PC now. Thanks for your prompt reply.


author: stevestreeting
body: You actually wouldn't get a username / password box for SSH, since SSH uses keys on GitHub, so this suggests you're actually using a HTTPS URL. HTTPS should still work though, I can use a HTTPS login here for my GitHub account on Windows, but maybe there's some confusion here between SSH keys and SSH passphrases and your main login details?

Please let us know what HTTPS URL you're trying to use and whether it includes the user name. If it doesn't, SourceTree will use a default one based on prior logins (and display this in the login box).


author: Ian Chan
body: I am using https for my GitHub repos. I am not using [ssh://user@github/orgname/reponame](ssh://user@github/orgname/reponame.). Should I?

The login issue is with the Windows 7 version. It's working fine on my Mac.

What does "Configure automatic line ending by default" mean?
Asked by Matthew Grasse:

When I configure SourceTree I am show a check box with the text:"Configure automatic line ending handling by default (recommended)"What does that mean? What actually happens? Does it set core.autocrlf git config? Does it set up .gitattributes? Something else? I can't find the doc on this option...


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: It sets the core.autocrlf=true.
Files or paths with an Apostrophe cannot be staged
Asked by mush-atc:

Hi,

When a filename conatins an apostrophe (') or the path to the filename contains an apostrophe, that file cannot be staged.

This is the error output for a path with an apostrophe;
> git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false add -f -- Folder with apostophe '/Test.txt
>
> fatal: pathspec 'Folder' did not match any files
>
> Completed with errors, see above.

This is the error output for a file with an apostrophe;
> git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false add -f -- File with apostrophe '.txt
>
> fatal: pathspec 'File' did not match any files
>
> Completed with errors, see above.

I'm using SourceTree v1.0.1.0

Thanks

Matt


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: Files with apostrophes seem to work fine, it's the combination of spaces \*and\* apostrophes that doesn't. I'll fix that.


author: rferras
body: I have the same problem with this filename: Sin t?tulo-1.gif

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: That's because it's an extended code page and not UTF8. We will be adding support for non-UTF8 extended characters in SourceTree 1.1.


author: mush-atc
body: G'day Steve,

You are correct.  
It is only when the path or file contains a space AND an apostrophe.

Cheers

git vcs on dropbox folders
Asked by m:

Hi all,I am using the combination GIT + SourceTree to version control a C++ project located on a dropbox folder.I code from 2 different computersThe problem I am having is the following:When I commit/sync my project on Computer1, the dropbox folder on computer2 updates, as expected, all the files on the tracked folder.However, sourcetree in computer 2 reports a lot of working copy changes, even though it is the same updated project as in computer 1.I guess it is detected changes in the file metadata? When selecting the files in Sourcetree, it cannot display any changes in the files How can I stop that to happen?Thanks


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: We really don't advise putting git repositories in a dropbox folder, the syncing of the internal repo data is fraught with issues. You should just use push/pull to distribute changes.

Sourcetree git-flow is slow
Asked by Martin Pradny:

I'm using Sourcetree on Windows with Git-Flow. It works fine, but it's really slow. It takes about 15 seconds just to show "Choose Next Flow Actions" or other dialogs. I tried it even on small test repository with no difference.

Is this normal? My collagues have same problem.

I'm running on quite standard laptop - Win7 64bit with 8GB RAM and SSD drive :(

So far I reverted back to use command line, but as I wanted to show sourcetree and git-flow to colleagues who don't know much about git Sourcetree seemd to be awesome option for them.

Martin


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: SourceTree calls a few git-flow commands to figure out the recommended next action, you can speed things up by choosing it yourself from the menu (Repository \> Git Flow \> \[Action\]). Nevertheless I'll see if I can speed this up.


author: Martin Pradny
body: Awesome. Thank you for such fast response and update

Now I think slowest thing is getting values for feature names in "feature finish" dialog :) I think there could be default option with current feature and the check could be run in background. But it's just an idea.

Again, thank you :)


author: Martin Pradny
body: I have found many articles about git being slow on windows in general, but I don't see such problems. I also tried to disable UAC and antivirus to check whether it would make any difference.

Please let me know if SourceTree with git-flow runs smoothly in your environment or not, so I know whether I should try to look for some issues here or not.

Thank you

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: Git is a little slower on Windows than Mac for sure. In this case, it's mostly that there's no single git-flow command to get what we want so we're calling a number of commands, and git-flow also has to go through 2+ levels of process because it's entirely implemented via shell scripts (which themselves call git).

I've short-circuited this for the next update and have used my own re-implementation of what git-flow does just to detect the current state, and it's about 5 times faster, so I think you'll like it when I post the update later today.

Shelve select files/hunks?
Asked by NikolasM:

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere... my searches haven't turned up any info so far. Is it possible to shelve select files or hunks in SourceTree (instead of shelving all uncommitted changes)? Likewise, can you unshelve select items?

Thanks,  
_Nik


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: No, Stash and Shelve are all-or-nothing operations at the moment, the hunk-level selection in shelve extensions tends to require a full terminal interface so we only expose the simpler mode right now.


author: KieranA
body: We have this on the roadmap for future versions, so I'll be working closely with Steve to get this working across the platforms.

Cheers

comments: author: renaatdemuynck
body: Any progress on this feature? I use this feature a lot in TortoiseHg. I'd *really* like to switch to SourceTree but I think for now I'll have to stick with TortoiseHg.


author: Robert Futch
body: Is it still in the roadmap? I'll stick with TortiseHg just for this.


author: Bastiaan Veelo
body: +1


author: NikolasM
body: Yes, I like the shelve tool that TortoiseHg provides.It'd be great to see something like it in SourceTree.


author: Matt Sollars
body: Not to point to another app that does this, but TortoiseHg fairly recently brought this feature back (it was in 1.x and temporarily lost in 2.x). It's similar to how SourceTree lets you discard individual hunks now. During the commit, you can check/uncheck the hunks for files. You don't need to shelve/unshelve the hunks to handle incremental/cherry picked commits with such an interface.


author: NikolasM
body: Ok. It'd be a really nice feature to have, as I frequently want to shelve specific files and sometimes specific hunks.
Unable to export Confluence Page to PDF or Word

While I have never seen this error message myself, I highly doubt it has anything to do with your users. Since it also sounds like all users are affected, it sounds more like a problem with Confluence. Have you already created a support ticket with Atlassian?

How to solve problems when trying to clone a hg repository from Bitbucket?
Asked by Michael Kr?mer:

After having used hg via different mechanisms for a while I just installed SourceTree. Basically it looks really great and easy to use. So I think it might be a great choice for new users to get started with hg or git.

Unfortunately I am experiencing problems when trying to clone a repository from Bitbucket. When I enter ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/*\<user\>* /*\<repository\>* as the URL I get "This is not a valid source path / URL". Clicking on details shows "remote: The command "C:\\Program" is either written wrong or could not be found" (or so, my own translation as this is a non-English Windows).

Now things get rather strange to me: I cloned the repository on the command line (via ssh) and opened it with SourceTree . After that I did the first edit and could commit and push without problems. And this is using the same URL as shown above internally.

So I wonder if there's something wrong with my setup or if it's actually a software issue.


Answers:
author: stevestreeting
body: I literally just spotted a bug that sneaked through that would only show up when SourceTree was installed in its final location, in C:\\Program Files... - it's down to improper handling of spaces in that path just for the initial probe of the remote.

Sorry about that, I've fixed it and I'll post another update shortly. In the mean time you can either clone via HTTPS instead or clone on the command line and pull in the repo by dragging/dropping from Explorer into the Bookmarks pane on the left.

Sorry about that!

comments: author: Michael Kr?mer
body: Thanks a lot for the prompt reply! Currently I'm fine with cloning on the command line as this works fine with me. And for me it's good to hear that the default ssh setup on Windows normally just works right away.


author: stevestreeting
body: Yeah, ssh is what I use all the time, I just didn't spot the issue with the spaces in the path because my test versions sit in space-free path names. It only affected the initial probe, the clone itself would have worked (if you could have got to the Clone button!). Update coming very soon.
Lost page
Asked by Martin Bojesen:

I have lost a page, and a new one has appeared.   

I can see that one of my pages has changed to an identical one, but the version history has disappeared. This means that every document I have, that had a reference to this page, now has an undefined link.

The new document says that it was published today the 8 th., but the document was sent through Comala Approval yesterday, where it was approved and published.

And the document isn't in the archived space.

Hope you can help

Kind regards

Does manually adding an app prior to marketplace approval require re-adding post approval?
Asked by Lana Nguyen:

My team is currently working on launching two connect apps into the marketplace (one for Confluence and one for Jira). Given the approval process is a few weeks, we want to try and still enable our customers to have early access by providing them instructions to manually upload the apps (via the Manage Apps admin page).

In doing so, once the apps are approved into the marketplace, would that require those who added the apps manually to re-add the marketplace apps separately? Or would it end up being the same thing?

We just don't want to accidentally cause too much friction by onboarding customers and then having them re-do the set up later.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Lana Nguyen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5239214) welcome to Community!

Your customers will probably run into problems of not receiving updates to the app that become available with each new version you release since the manually installed app will not sync with the Marketplace installed version.

Btw, it sounds like you are becoming a Marketplace Partner. Check out the [Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/) and these [guidelines for Partners on Community](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Atlassian-Community-online-guidelines-for-Marketplace-and/ba-p/689723).

Why does the Filter Results macro periodically stop working in Confluence?
Asked by Mike V:

This morning I went into a Confluence page, and for some inexplicable reason none of the Filter Results macros returned any results. And yet they were working fine yesterday.

This issue occurs periodically throughout the year and is very frustrating. And it seems its not a new issue in the Community.

Why does this issue occur?

- Is it due to a scheduled outage?

- Bugs?

And what is your plan to prevent this issue occurring in the future?

Can we automate jira macro filter to show jira tickets in confluence page?
Asked by 116_Tarushi Bhandari:

So the problem is that i have used jira macro in postmortem confluence page to display all action-item jira tickets related to an incident. But what should i do to so that this jira filter is automatically enabled for all other confluence pages to be made in future. I dont want to manually insert this filter each time a confluence page is created. Is using Confluence REST API the only solution here?


Answers:
author: Aditya Verma
body: Hi [@116_Tarushi Bhandari](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5209317) ,

You can try using "Include" and "Excerpt Include" macros for displaying contents of one page in another page. Still it would be manual when you will be creating new pages, but with the help of these macros all other pages can get data from a single source page.

prevent Confluence from added access for you when editing page restrictions as an admin
Asked by Tony Rice:

We're renaming groups which has us editing a lot of page restrictions to add the new group (if I'm missing something there actually is a way to rename groups within Confluence, please let me know).

When editing the restrictions on a given page, it automatically adds whoever is doing this with the maximum permissions, and doesn't give you the option to remove this on the restrictions page.

![Untitled.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/262142iCFD82A311A00BE7B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Untitled.png")This forces you to go to Page Information to remove this unwanted access.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior?


Answers:
author: Manoj Gangwar
body: Hi [@Tony Rice](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2655761)

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

Only Confluence Administrator can rename the groups.

If you are Confluence Admin, Follow below steps :

1) Go to User Management

2) Choose Groups in sidebar

3) search for the group

4) try to rename it.

comments: author: Tony Rice
body: I do not think this is correct.

My understanding is that [it is not possible to rename a group in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rename-a-group-and-preserve-its-permissions-948228977.html), that this may only be done in the backend database, which we try to avoid at all costs due to some very bad past experiences across multiple Atlassian products.

I'm also looking to avoid having my account added whenever I edit restrictions on a page. This will also be useful outside of the group renaming use case. Any advice there?

What is this blue icon appearing on some pages ?
Asked by Valerie Blondel:

Hi there,

I have pages with icons in title, such as the following.

![full page icon.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/262125i47AD5A8CA327F2FF/image-dimensions/332x38?v=v2 "full page icon.png")

When using links, the very same page appears with another blue icon, looking like a note, prior to the one I chose.

![blue icon.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/262121iF94012D598B33FFD/image-dimensions/159x186?v=v2 "blue icon.png")

I thought that this blue "note" icon meant that the link was taken when the page was edited, but this is not the case.

This case does only happen on certain pages, not all of them.

Any idea what could cause this ?

Thanks a lot,

Val?rie


Answers:

Thanks for answering. Those are all links to Confluence pages. But on the others, this blue icon does not appear, hence my question ;-)
