How to export the repository bookmarks?
Asked by Sean Lee:

Is there a way to export all the bookmark repository's addresses into a flat file?


Answers:
author: Will Estevam
body: I discovered a simple way to do this. Save the folders containing the files ".git" in a pendrive (or something like that), and after to restore the backup, just drag these folders to the SourceTree bookmarks.

I did it with all folders in the same time and it worked!

(sorry by my poor english)


author: KieranA
body: Hi Sean,

We don't usually recommend this for the reason that bookmarks are absolute paths, which means wherever you're migrating your bookmarks to must have the exact same absolute folder structure in order for the bookmarks to work unless you edit the file, just so you're aware.

The bookmarks file is located at \~/Library/Application Support/SourceTree/browser.plist

Cheers

comments: author: Sean Lee
body: Hi Kieran,

The location is at at \~/Users/***name**/* Library/Application Support/SourceTree/

However, this file stores the location of the local storage, not the repo URL. Could you please tell me where the repo URL is stored?

Thanks.


author: KieranA
body: Hi Sean,

The tilde (\~) goes to your home directory, so it is \~/Library/Application Support/SourceTree/. Your example is an absolute URL which would be just /Library/Application Support/SourceTree (without the tilde at the start).

The repository URL is stored where it's typically stored, in your git config (in .git folder of repo) for Git or your hgrc file for Mercurial. This is a Git/Mercurial concept though rather than SourceTree, we just read those files.

Cheers


author: Dirk Surmann
body: I used the "bookmarks.xml" which is mentioned in [this thread](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/SOURCETREEKB/Wiping+SourceTree+Preferences).

Kind regards


author: Sean Lee
body: Hi Kieran,

I'm trying to export the remote repository list, not opening each bookmark and copy paste each URL. Where does SourceTree store the remote repository addresses?

comments: author: KieranA
body: Hi Sean,

We don't support away of exporting all remote URLs. It's not something I've ever heard of being needed. Typically users just want their bookmarks list. If they're migrating their data over to another machine they usually copy/paste all of their repositories and then copy/paste their browser.plist file over keeping the file structures the same for their repositories thus restoring all of their bookmarks as before.

Cheers

author: x12586
body: Everybody has to do this time to time Sean when:

- reinstall everything

- thers?s a new machine

- etc, etc.  
Usualy we copy all fisical folders with repos to the new machine, same place. Then we should be able to import all bookmarcks and its hierarchy folders into sourcetree. That feature is missing and we have to do that manually. Create all the folders and then drag all the repos, organise, reorganise, .....  
One simple feature...
Ignore local changes to tracked files in Sourcetree
Asked by Keith McGill:

Is there way to have SourceTree ignore local changes to a tracked file?

This would be the equivelant to the command line:

git update-index --assume-unchanged myfile.txt

How can I disable SSH
Asked by Dennis Talley:

I hate to ask this, because it's a fail. But I have several small projects in BitBucket/Sourcetree now and ever since I started trying to use SSH it's all a fail. I need to take the time to set it up right. But right now, I just want to do what I need to do to go forward with my projects. I hope there is a solution.

I keep trying to disable SSH and go back to HTTPS. Just for awhile, until I have time to get SSH working for me. What do I need to do? I just created a new project in BitBucket and when I tried to clone it, once again "Authentication via SSH keys failed".


Answers:
author: Dennis Talley
body: I will cancel this question. I believe I have SSH working, and found a workaround. In Bitbucket, I was selecting to clone using HTTPS, I thought, but it was using SSH. My mistake, somehow, I'm sure. In the end I did the CLONE from SourceTree instead and it worked. This I did after going through the SSH setup instructions and verifying that I did indeed have my SSH keys installed and configured correctly.

So in summary, my workaround was: create a new Repository in BitBucket. Select the CLONE button and select SSH, and then copy the URL. Open SourceTree and select the "CLONE/NEW" button. Use the "Clone Repository" tab and paste the Bitbucket URL. After that I dropped my source code in the new folder created by SourceTree. The file appeared on SourceTree. I committed it and it uploaded to Bitbucket okay.

Files view disappeared when viewing commits, but not uncommitted
Asked by Jeff_Evans:

I'm using SourceTree 1.7.2 (just upgraded from 1.5), with a git repository. This week, I've stopped seeing the Files section when clicking on any commits, under the Log view. By "Files section," I mean the part that appears, by default, just between the diffs and the left sidebar, which shows the files that are part of the commit (or part of the uncommitted changes). This view appears fine when I click on Uncommitted changes (i.e. show Files staged in the index, Files in the working tree). But when I click on any commit, that section just completely disappears and I'm left just looking at the diff section for a single file (presumably the first file in the list for that commit). I looked through all the menus and preferences and didn't see any way to re-activate this. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: KieranA
body: Hi Jeff,

We fixed this issue although it will stick around from prior versions. It's actually a splitter which has been totally collapsed. You need to hover your cursor over the left or right hand edge of the diff view and drag it to reveal the hidden section. Hopefully I'm making some sense!

If it's still a problem let us know.

Cheers

author: duncm
body: I'm also having a similar problem on Windows Server 2008 R2. In my case, this error occurs when setting up my Bitbucket account upon initial install of SourceTree.

The computer is behind a proxy server (no authentication required).

Screenshot attached. Please let me know if you'd like any further info.

comments: author: duncm
body: Sorry, my bad. I'd accidentally configured Internet Options control panel with our proxy server that *does* require authentication. I've corrected that and it's now working.

It would appear that SourceTree doesn't prompt for proxy credentials upon an HTTP 407 response. Instead, it displays an error message, as above.

The authentication-required proxy server would only work when I explicitly set custom proxy server and credentials in SourceTree \> Tools \> Options \> Network.

I hope this helps!

Team Calendar import from Confluence 7.13 to Cloud
Asked by elena.zernerkaening:

Hi,

we are migrating from Confluence 7.13.4 to Confluence Cloud.

I'm trying to export/import our team calendar and experiencing the following issue:

the events are imported, but the references to the users, for whom these events were created are missing.

Is there any way to fix this issue?

The users do exist in the cloud instance.


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@elena.zernerkaening](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5245622)

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The problem is that the events in the calendar are tied to a user ID. The ID for the user in the Confluence 7.x product is entirely different from the ID associated with the user in Atlassian Cloud.

That is a known limitation of migrating Team Calendar data using the export/import method.

There is a script available from Atlassian Labs that I used to migrate Team Calendars data. That script does manage to reconnect the events to the users as part of its migration process.

<https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/team-calendars/src/master/>

I last used that script at the beginning of 2023. I tested it multiple times and worked closely with an Atlassian Cloud Migration Engineer through support tickets to understand what the script could and could not do, and the pros and cons of using the script vs. the export/import method.

how to show the next pages that will be updated?

Hi,

I have a space where each page has a validity duration (P1Y, P3M,...). Page expiration is managed with Comala Document Management.

body: [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) thanks so much for your feedback. Much appreciated. Can I get some clarification- it is not a public page, it is password protected. However the individual had the password at the time so was able to access freely.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm afraid it's the same answer - you gave access to someone to your pages, so they can copy and paste it anywhere.

Imagine a simple case. If you invite someone into your house for a party, and don't confiscate their cameras ('phones) at the door, they will probably have some photos of your house, which they can post if they feel like it.

Password protection can work well, but it's the same thing - all it does is reduce access. If someone has access, they can take what they want. You gave the individual access, so they had access to the page(s).

How to access data from another form for a formula
Asked by Mitch Boucher:

I have a table with a list of values, and the values all have to be offset by a constant.  
So I made a table and a card viewer with two separate form definitions. The card will hold the constant offset (so that is easy to access if needed to be changed).  
I want to use a formula that would be something similar to (\[entry.tableValue\] - \[entry.cardValue\]), is there a way to do this? I would get an error when I try to just name both fields.

To link records in ConfiForms you can use smart fields - this way you can build a bridge between one form to another, creating a bridge between specific records

To have something like you have asked is not possible
