Turn off Diff / Preview pane?
Asked by Aaron Cammarata:

I've got a single file that is problematic - slows down SourceTree considerably while it diffs a large text file. I asked [whether there was any way to turn off diff on a single file](/questions/326488/sourcetree-is-there-any-way-to-turn-off-file-preview-diff-on-a-file-or-file-type), but frankly at this point I'd be happy to just turn off the diff pane completely.

Thanks,

Aaron

body: Gaah! So obvious!! Thank you.

One more note, for anyone who stumbles on this later - you need to add the file type (ex: "\*.ai"), and then RESTART SOURCE TREE for it to take effect.

Creating a feature or hotfix on a dirty checkout - possible?
Asked by Richard Quadling:

Hi.

From the command line, I can create a branch from master (and call it a hotfix/foo) or develop (and call it feature/bar) with uncommitted changes in the checkout.

I can then use SourceTree / git-flow to finish commit and finish the branch.

But I can't create them in SourceTree if the checkout is dirty.

It would be really useful to be able to do so from within the UI (I like the UI and can't remember the command line so easily for git).

I so often forget to create the hotfix branch first, make some changes, test them and then realise I want a hotfix. A solution is to stash, create hotfix restore stash, but it would be REALLY nice to just create the hot fix with the dirty master checkout. And to be able to do that from within the UI.

Any possibility of this?

Regards,

Richard.


Answers:
author: Seth
body: I'm assuming by "dirty" that you mean you have uncommitted changes. I've never had a problem creating a branch in that state. I do have problems pulling, and sometimes have problems switching branches (both of which make sense to be problems), but if I am trying to branch from the commit that I am working on, no problem.
Download link for SourceTree for Windows that isn't an EXE file
Asked by Christos Delivorias:

Hey guys,

For us behind corporate firewalls, is it possible to provide a download link for SourceTree that isn't an EXE file? Perhaps a ZIPped version of the installation package?

Thanks,

Christos


Answers:
author: Christos Delivorias
body: Thanks for the link Rene. This seems to have "solved" my issue.

I know it defeats the purpose, but what can you do...

Thanks for the help


author: rverschoor
body: Online services like [](http://archive.online-convert.com/convert-to-zip)<http://archive.online-convert.com/convert-to-zip>seem to work for this.

Or convince your IT department to allow EXE download :)  
If they allow ZIP but not EXE, it kind of defeats the purpose...

comments: author: Seth
body: It would be worthwhile to see if your IT department has a whitelist that SourceTree could be added to.


author: Christos Delivorias
body: Traditionally speaking, changing IT black lists is not a straight-forward exersise.

But in this case, the issue they're having is that the download fails to complete. It's not an issue of a blocked site for them, just for myself. Do you have an alternate download URL for the EXE file, or a ZIPped version of it so that I might try and download it?

Thanks.

Christos


author: rverschoor
body: Like I posted earlier, paste the original download URL in a service like [](http://archive.online-convert.com/convert-to-zip,)<http://archive.online-convert.com/convert-to-zip>, and you can download it as a ZIP.
Encoding problems with files containing ? character
Asked by Alan B:

Hi - I am trying to commit and push a file into BitBucket via SourceTree; the file contains a ? character and using Notepad++ on the source file it looks ok, but when I look at the file in SourceTree before committing it - this ? character has been turned into a "?". When looking at it on the BitBucket (I guess after I'd pushed it) it shows as a square box character

What do I need to do to retain the correct encoding?

Thanks

A


Answers:
author: Seth
body: I don't think SourceTree should change the file's encoding, but may not be correctly reading the encoding when displaying portions of the file in the UI. I would try to commit it anyway, then pull the file from another computer to confirm whether the encoding is correct.
Need instructions for setting up Stash & SourceTree
Asked by T:

We can't seem to find a good users guide for SourceTree for Stash, specifically how to set up an already existing Stash Repository. For example. How do you find the correct Stash URL for setting up Sourcetree. There should be a link to a guide off your download page.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: jpoh
body: It depends on what you mean by setting up SourceTree for Stash. If you just want to clone a repository, there is a button right in Stash that sets up the repository in SourceTree for you:

![](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6hytvfmugs9eys9/2014-08-14%20at%2012.02%20pm%20%281%29.png)

SourceTree also has integration with Hosted Repositories (View menu \> Show Hosted Repositories) where you can add services and login credentials, and SourceTree will fetch a list of repositories you have access to, and you can clone them directly from that list. For the 'Stash' service, you just need to put in the URL to your Stash instance (eg [](https://stash.yourcompany.com/)<https://stash.yourcompany.com/>).

SourceTree for OSX 10.6
Asked by John Abbott:

Is it possible to download a version of SourceTree for 10.6?


Answers:
author: John Abbott
body: Yes, this is exactly what I meant except in addition to having a button that says 10.6, I want it to actually install on 10.6. :-) Downloading what is behind the button nets me something that when I try to install it I get "You can't use this version of the application SourceTree with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and the application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later"


author: Steven F Behnke
body: The website states SourceTree for Mac - 10.6+

<https://www.atlassian.com/es/software/sourcetree/overview>

Or is this not what you meant?

comments: author: Steven F Behnke
body: @John Abbot, the SourceTree website's download link ([sourcetreeapp.com](http://sourcetreeapp.com)) currently states 10.7 as the supported version.

* The Atlassian page incorrectly states 10.6+
* The Atlassian page directs you to an OS specific page regardless of which Windows or Apple button you press.

That being said, I found this link: [](/questions/290155/restore-older-version-of-sourcetree)<https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/290155/restore-older-version-of-sourcetree>

It includes the following: [](http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/SourceTree_1.8.1.dmg)<http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/SourceTree_1.8.1.dmg>

See if that version is installable. I wasn't able to find a list of SourceTree versions tied to OS compatiblity.

Dynamic Include Page Macro
Asked by Sing Chen:

Hi,

Hoping to get some insight or guidance regarding dynamically including a page or page content into another page.

We have a landing page for project portfolio, which is used by senior leaders to view a curated set of highlights/lowlights/risks/decisions across the portfolio (approx 80 projects).

A template is used to create this"weekly summary":

![2023-07-19 11 28 18.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/269789iFCA06C6BB93EFE9D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2023-07-19 11 28 18.png")

The landing page currently uses an 'include page' macro to display the most recent "weekly summary":

![2023-07-19 11 28 18.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/269790i9A4B0D8F4D96ACD6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2023-07-19 11 28 18.png")

What I'd love to know is, is there a macro or some other creative way I can include the most up-to-date "weekly summary" with each passing week without having to update the "page to include" reference in the "include page" macro, every time a new summary is created?

It's an additional step which increases friction in the process:

Create new weekly summary -\> Go to landing page --\> Edit the include page macro.

I'm thinking about something like a macro to include the "new" page based on labels rather than name would be great.

Thanks,

Sing


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Sing Chen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5143156) This may not be the most elegant solution, but would it make sense to:

* Make a "Latest PMO Summary" page that always has the most recent summary.
* Before updating this page for the new week, you could copy the page to a page named "\<last week's date\>: PMO Summary"

This way, your Include Page macro can statically use the "Latest PMO Summary" page.

comments: author: Sing Chen
body: Thanks for the suggestion [@Barbara Szczesniak](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5187859)

It's not exactly what I'm looking for. The non-negotiable for the 'creators' of the summaries is using the 'create from template' macro. Given this, we'll always have a new page for each week. The simplest solution I've found is to point the **Include Page** at a new page each week - which is one change but it's a few clicks (edit the page, edit the macro, update the page in the macro, publish the page).

If there were a solution that supported labels, that would be ideal. My thinking is you could have a 'current' or 'latest' label built into the template. This way, all you would need to do is remove the 'latest' from the previous week's summary.

Is it possible to link to a not-already-created undefined page in Confluence from an external site?
Asked by Nikhil Owalekar:

I have been able to create link to an undefined page using the \[undefined page\]() macro. The macro creates a link like this,

[https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=\~557058775000df777e4278a9d7b4175af976e8\&title=undefined%20page\&linkCreation=true\&fromPageId=3056926778](https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=~557058775000df777e4278a9d7b4175af976e8&title=undefined%20page&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=3056926778)

Once the above page is published, the macro automagically updates the link to,

[https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/\~557058775000df777e4278a9d7b4175af976e8/pages/3063578636](https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~557058775000df777e4278a9d7b4175af976e8/pages/3063578636)

*** ** * ** ***

I want to implement above behaviour for links from an external system.

i.e. I will always have the "createpage" link published in the external system. And when the page is already published, the link should redirect to the already created page.

The use case is very simple. For the alerts delivered by OpsGenie, we want to have runbooks in Confluence. Each alert should have a link to it's specific runbook. If the runbook is not created, it should take the user to the editor with a blank page. If the runbook is already created, it should take the user to the runbook page.

Also, above functionality was working as I have described/expected until 2-3 months ago. Now the createpage.action link always takes me to the editor, even when the page with the same title+parent already exists.

Any way to bring it back? Or a workaround ?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Nikhil Owalekar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3521452) you would have to create your own macro to track the created page and even then I am not sure how you would make the relationship.

How do I allow users to add comments to a page?
Asked by Katy Conway:

I've created a set of pages using the Refined template for confluence but I don't see any way to add comments on the pages.

If I look at space permissions the ability for all user groups to add comment is selected and yet all i can seem to do is like a page.

I recall when I created pages I removed suggested content. I'm guessing one of these must have been allowing comments. How do I find it to add it back to the pages?
