SourceTree reports Not a GIT Repo
Asked by mlevison:

git status' failed with code 128:'fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git.

What happened? This repo has existed for over a year. Just a few minutes ago I went to checkin my first changes in 3 days and I get this message. The .git folder is at the top of the parent folder (training materials). Besides hyperventaliting - what do I next?

Looking forward to recovering my repo.

FYI I get this is really the command line reporting the issue.

Cheers

Mark

body: Have you navigated to the directory in a command shell and run "git status" there?  
Is there a remote repository you could clone, and manually merge in changes from your failed copy?

comments: author: mlevison
body: Fair point. The good news - its consist. GIT status reports the same error. The bad news - I'm on the road running trainings for the next two weeks. Must not take risks.


author: mlevison
body: Ugh the ./git folder was completely corrupted. Not even restoring from a backup 3 days before (when I had a good checkin helped). Had to create a new copy of the repo from scratch.

Whilst not a sourcetree problem likely it was an ugly issue.
Please make a simple version of sourcetree.
Asked by fuck atlassian:

Hi im 3d/2d designer and im forced to use your software at work.

You can't imagine how hard i hate sourcetree, it's the most complicated and unintuitive piece of

software i ever used, and it not only creates so much problems for me with all those overcomplicated features and problems that arise for simple tasks, but as a result i create problems for my coworkers, because i make mistakes.

Please i beg you to release a simple version of it with only - chose brach you work on, and 2 buttons, upload, and download. And that's all! I never used anything beyond that but the rest of functions are driving me mad literally.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you don't need the complexity, then there are plenty of other clients you can try. The complexity in Sourcetree is a reflection of the source control system and the integrations available for it. You don't need any of that, so I'd suggest simply using something else.
Print DIFF listing?
Asked by Bill Humphries:

Sourcetree for windows 1.3.0.0 : how can I print DIFF log from your panels?


Answers:
author: Bill Humphries
body: No, side-by-side is good. I just wanted to print it. Your KDiff3 suggestion should work - thanks.


author: Jeff Thomas
body: I don't think there is a way to print directly from within SourceTree. I was able to print a diff by installing [KDiff3](http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/) and configuring it as the default diff tool. You'll see an **External Diff** button that will open KDiff3 and then you could use it to print your diff.

![](../../upfiles/Screen_Shot_2013-10-29_at_7.37.37_AM.png)

**Configure KDiff3 as Default**

Select Tools from the menu bar, then Options. Click on the Diff tab and set the External Diff Tool to KDiff3.

comments: author: Jeff Thomas
body: This only does side-by-side diffs (as far as I can tell), are you looking for the unified diff?


author: Bronius Motekaitis
body: That was easy enough! I couldn't quite figure out the multiple pages per sheet (mac printer setting) and ended up dup'ing, but that's not this :D Thanks for the tip.

Use kaleidoscope app for external diff app in source tree
Asked by Mehmet Fatih YILDIZ:

I use kaleidoscope app (<http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com>) as me diff app but I couldn't make it work with sourcetree.

Sourcetree has predefined external diff app list. Also I don't have any of those tools so the external diff app section is disabled for me. Basically I can't do external diff right now.

Can you help me to set it up or if it's not possible at this time, is there a plan to add it on the roadmap?


Answers:
author: Ronnie Otts
body: Go to SourceTree --\> preferences, in your menubar.

Under the "diff" tab, you can select from a list of installed diff tools.

![](../../upfiles/Screen_Shot_2013-10-29_at_2.29.44_PM.png)

Do you have the command "ksdiff" installed? (if not <http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com/ksdiff2> )  
It looks like sourcetree uses this to start kaleidoscope

comments: author: Mehmet Fatih YILDIZ
body: Oh, External Diff section is completely disabled. I checked my kaleidoscope app version and realized that there is a major version released recently. That's probably why it doesn't recognize my older version.

I'll update and check preference tab for this.


author: KieranA
body: Hi Mehmet,

On the 'General' tab of your SourceTree preferences there's a checkbox right at the very top saying "Allow SourceTree to modify your global Mercurial and Git configuration files". If this is disabled then we can't set the diff tool on your behalf which is why that whole section (the external diff section) on the diff tab is tabled. Make sure the checkbox is turned on and it should work.

There are other cases where it may not work, but that's usually the most likely case.

Cheers

comments: author: Mehmet Fatih YILDIZ
body: Yeah this is helpful but when i select Kaleidoscope, it says it's not installed but I'm already using kaleidoscope but the 1.x version. Kaleidoscope guys have 2.x versions but I don't want to upgrade because current version works great for me.


author: KieranA
body: We've got open issues on improving the helpfulness of this as it's a bit basic in that it tells you it won't work. It expects certain utilities on certain paths. You can use the custom setting to do it, too. Go to "SourceTree Help" in the "Help" menu and search for "Preferences: Diff". This help document aids you with the options you can provide when choosing the custom external diff tool.

If you need any more help I can take a deeper look into it if that document isn't of use.

I can't install SourceTree for Windows on my PC with Windows 8.1 Enterprise installed.
Asked by Hans Zhang:

It shows an alert dialog when the setup program is in the step "Installing SourceTree".The dialog tells that:Source file not found: C:\\ProgramData\\Atlassian\\SourceTree 1.3.0\\install\\disk1.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.I have checked that folder, but no disk1.cab is there. Only a file named "SourceTreeSetup_1.3.0.msi" is in that folder.


Answers:
author: Hans Zhang
body: I have installed the SourceTree 1.3.0 on my Windows 8.1.

The reason why it alerts that the disk1.cab is missing is I saved the setup file in a folder with a Chinese name.

SourceTree for Windows manual
Asked by Twan van Ierland:

Is there a manual for SourceTree for Windows available for download?


Answers:
author: Jeff Thomas
body: There is no documentation built-in to the Windows client, but I've seen it mentioned several times that Atlassian is working on it. The [FAQ](http://sourcetreeapp.com/faq/) does provided some simple help.

Is there a specific question that you have about SourceTree?

comments: author: Twan van Ierland
body: At the moment I'm learning Git \[on Windows\] and chose SourceTree as a GUI client for ease of use, next to the command line. Learning SourceTree without manual comes down at 'recognizing' commandline usage in the SourceTree GUI - including settings in the dialogs -and thats a bit inefficient, but not impossible. A good manual would speed up the learning process :o)

"No developer tools found" on latest Mavericks/Xcode
Asked by Jess Perkins:

Updated to latest Mavericks and Xcode 5. Attempts to pull or push against a git repository now give me this error:

```
xcode-select: error: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', and no install could be requested (perhaps no UI is present), please install manually from 'developer.apple.com'.
```

Xcode 5 is installed in /Applications, and the tools are present (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git exists, for instance). Tried running \`sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer\`; no effect.

Any ideas? Thanks!

**Update:** I am using the embedded version of git:

![git preferences screenshot](http://f.cl.ly/items/2M2t0h0W2T0u0c0z0b2o/Screen%20Shot%202013-10-28%20at%2012.32.00%20PM.png)

Switching to system git (1.8.3.4) gives me the same error.

**Update #2:** Tried:

* Uninstalling (via AppCleaner) and reinstalling SourceTree
* Downloading and installing the latest Xcode Command Line Tools package from developer.apple.com

This doesn't seem to be SourceTree specific; I get the same error if I try to run \`git fetch\` from the command line. Other git commands seem to work, so it must be something related to connecting to the remote server. Still completely stumped.


Answers:
author: Jess Perkins
body: Ah, I figured it out: was missing the Command Line Tools package on the SERVER. There is no indication in the error message itself where it originated, and I made the assumption that it was on my client box.

Easy fix, then: xcode-select --install (on the server, that is)

Sorry for the drama; glad to have it fixed!


author: albertusputra
body: open ur terminal and do this:

    PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH

    export PATH

comments: author: KieranA
body: This won't work as SourceTree runs in its own process and thus own environment.


author: Jess Perkins
body: This doesn't really make any sense: git isn't installed at that location.


author: KieranA
body: Hey Jason,

This should work fine as has done in our Xcode 5 tests. This means your SourceTree preferences are set to use system Git. You could get ST working by specifying 'embedded Git' in your Git preferences.

As for the missing Git, perhaps you need to re-specify system Git and choose the location as /usr/bin/git. I've got a funny feeling Xcode has moved its own Git installation (command line tools) elsewhere which is why SourceTree might be failing as it's looking up the place it used to be.

Cheers

Fast Mac, new OSX, actual SourceTree - stage is very slow
Asked by Macsis:

I'v actual version of SourceTree (1.7.3), very fast iMac (3,7GHz, SSD, 32Mb RAM), new OSX, but SourceTree works VERY slow.

The slowest is updated contents of the list of files (Files staged in the index AND Files in the working tre) that occurs every time then I stage / commit in all the dialogues. Each update takes up to 10 seconds.

Not a lot of changes, usually within a ten. The repository is not very big (about 9000 files in the main it is code and the image, the total volume of 2,5 Gb). Additionaly connected to two remote repository on BitBucket (original and fork on it).

The problem is serious for me, because I spend a lot of time to empty out. Is there a way to solve it?

Unable to stash when working tree contains a symbolic link

Bulk edit inactive authors in confluence
Asked by Paul Martin:

Hello,

I'm currently facing an issue while attempting to migrate Confluence data to the cloud. During the migration process, I received an error message stating that we would exceed our user numbers. I believe that inactive authors are being counted in our user count, which is causing the problem.

To address this issue, I'm wondering if there is a way to identify and bulk edit pages owned or last updated by an inactive author/individual to another user who is active.

Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Paul Martin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1034637) , have you confirmed your theory of inactive users? This should not be the case. Can you query the number of active users and assess? OOTB, I am not aware of querying pages by user status.

comments: author: Jack Brickey
body: I did find this post. Might be worth a go...

[How-can-I-make-inactive-users-searchable-in-Confluence](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-can-I-make-inactive-users-searchable-in-Confluence/qaq-p/718885)


author: Paul Martin
body: Thanks for getting back so quickly [@Jack Brickey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853369)

So I have compiled a list of active and disabled users in confluence and can see there are 480 active users and 805 disabled users. When doing the migration it states there are 533 users to be migrated, which suggests disabled users are being counted in our user count.

Do we know what criteria determines when a user will be migrated?


author: Jack Brickey
body: Thanks Paul. So the thing is that none of the numbers really add up based on what you have provided. It seems that maybe ++some++ of the disabled users are being counted. I wonder if the difference can be attributed to whether they are an author of any pages. Regardless, unfortunately, I don't have a good answer for you and I would highly recommend reaching out to Atlassian support directly. My experience has been they've been pretty responsive to migration issues. The other thing is, I wonder if you cannot simply disable those users what's the migration is complete. I don't suspect you would be charged in the scenario like that for those disabled users.

How to change width of the Space Content Tree on the left side?
Asked by Marina Khanukaeva:

hi!

on the left side there is a content bar for the whole space. recently i've lost the option to fix this content "bar" and properly see the names of the pages under the content tree. it is very annoying but i struggle to change it

If there are no issues with CSS of your Confluence the left sidebar should be resizable by dragging its border. If you cannot see the bar, you can press '\[' on keyboard to open/close it.

If it is visible but not resizable then you can check Console errors in your browser and check what causes the UI problems - this can be some 3-rd party addon.

How can I divide the pages in the navigation bar link with headings?
Asked by Daniel Knappe:

Dear Community,

in the left navigation bar of confluence I have my pages.

I would like to divide these pages with "headings" e.g.

High Level  
IT  
Marketing  
QA

Underneath I would like to put the corresponding pages, e.g.  

High Level  
- vision  
- Team  

IT  
- Technology  
- Principles  
- Documentation requirements

Is it possible?

I would be very grateful for any assistance!

Many greetings and have a wonderful day,  
Daniel


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Daniel Knappe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5248143) welcome to the Atlassian Community.

To accomplish what you are looking to do, you will need to create pages corresponding to your high level headings, and then place the corresponding pages below those pages as child pages. This can be accomplished by dragging and dropping the pages in the navigation pane below the newly created pages, or by going into the Space Settings and using the Move Pages module to rearrange them.

PRO TIP: Use the page tree macro on the 'parent' pages to create links to the child pages.

I hope this helps!
