askpass.exe - what's that??

author: Georgi Angelov
body: I had the same issue after upgrading to 3.3.8

It was resolved after deleting some old accounts and edit the other ones under Tools \>\> Options \>\> Accounts

At the same time all my checked out repositories were showing a red exclamation mark on the "Remote" icon. Clicking on Remote was trowing an error from winscp "Putty.exe not found".  
So I installed putty but without success. The exclamation mark was still there and clicking on the icon was now trowing 'Server refused to start a shell/command'.

Next thing I tried was to do a new Clone and that was working. So I compared the "Remote Account" settings under Settings \>\> Remotes \>\> origin \>\> Edit and it seems that for my previously cloned repositories this settings were not correct anymore after the upgrade. Changing them solved the issue with the Remote. Clicking on Remote was sending me now to the right repository location in a browser.


author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi xdev,

askpass.exe is a legitimate part of SourceTree.

Its function is to provide a graphical interface to allow SSH via Git to ask for a username's password to access their SSH key. For doing this it uses the variable called SSH_ASKPASS.

From the message it looks like the file would be damaged on your system or blocked by a virus scanner or similar. The specific reason is hard to tell from here, though.

GitFlow - Enable - Branches already exist
Asked by Jay Blanton:

We are looking to use GitFlow on our project where we already have a master, and a develop (but right now develop is a folder that contains feature/hotfix branches in it). If we enable GitFlow, will it leave the master and create the correct develop? Or will it wipe out our current master?


Answers:
author: Jay Blanton
body: So the plugin really requires you to already have a master and develop branch. So if I did not have a develop branch or I had a develop/sample branch, it would fail because it didn't exist or because I couldn't create and lock develop if a develop/sample branch existed. The way I resolved this is by either ensuring I had develop and master when creating a new repo, or I renamed what I considered was my develop branch to the name develop. Once I did this, and then initialized the repository for the Git-flow feature. Of course, after the fact, you can modify the .git/config settings for the directories that Git-flow is configured against.


author: Hana Ku?erov?
body: Hi [@Jay Blanton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/705605) ,

I'm not sure what you mean by "folder that contains branches in it". I don't think it will do any damage, but I think the safest way is to do the fresh local clone of your remote repository and test it on this copy. Then you will be sure :-).

Unable to add my Gitalb account in Sourcetree
Asked by VinayKolla:

Hi have a Gitlab enterprise account and I am able to login to it on the browser. When I am trying to add the same account into my sourcetree app on Mac it throws an error

"We couldn't connect to GitLab Enterprise with your (vinay.kolla) credentials. Check your username and try the password again."


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi [@VinayKolla](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4156697) , welcome to the Community!

While I don't have experience with Gitlab Enterprise specifically, I know many providers are switching to access tokens instead of using passwords in clients. I'm wondering if this might be the case for your Gitlab Enterprise server. The Enterprise edition documentation shows that personal access tokens have been around for a while in EE.

To create an access token in Gitlab Enterprise, you can follow these steps:
> You can create as many personal access tokens as you like from your GitLab profile.
>
> 1. Sign in to GitLab.
> 2. In the upper-right corner, click your avatar and select **Settings**.
> 3. On the **User Settings** menu, select **Access Tokens**.
> 4. Choose a name and optional expiry date for the token.
> 5. Choose the [desired scopes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html#limiting-scopes-of-a-personal-access-token).
> 6. Click the **Create personal access token** button.
> 7. Save the personal access token somewhere safe. If you navigate away or refresh your page, and you did not save the token, you must create a new one.

Then paste the token in as the password when configuring your Gitlab Enterprise account in Sourcetree:

Trying to get SourceTree working with the TwinCat ProjectCompare tool
Asked by Mark van der Lee:

I am trying to get SourceTree working with the TwinCat ProjectCompare tool...  

When using the TwinCat ProjectCompare using a shortcut, bat file or command prompt everything works fine. In these cases I am using the following command for example:

```
C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Components\TcProjectCompare\TcProjectCompare.exe /filel C:\Users\BPA\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp5968.tcpou /filer C:\users\bpa\appdata\local\temp/aqsvxz_cm_casecompacting.tcpou /dl left /dr right /sc
```

When I use the same format in SourceTree external compare tool it behaves not like it should. In this case i am getting the message 'File c:/program files/git/filel does not exist!'.

It looks like SourceTree is doing something with the formatting of the forward slash or something like that.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?


Answers:
author: andertbos
body: Hi all,

I am using SourceTree in combination with TwinCAT3. Usually when 2 projects are to be compared and merged without SourceTree, I use the TC compare tool. Doing that, I am in full control what will be merged from the one project into the other. In SourceTree this doesn't seem to be possible? In that sense, the TC compare tool can be used in SourceTree with a

"Diff command argument" = //filel \\"$LOCAL\\" //filer \\"$REMOTE\\" //dl \\"$LOCAL\\" //dr \\"$REMOTE\\" //sc ,

and a

"Merge command argument" = //filel \\"$LOCAL\\" //filer \\"$REMOTE\\" //filem \\"$MERGED\\" //dl \\\\\\"Head: \\"$LOCAL\\"\\\\\\" //dm \\\\\\"Result: \\"$MERGED\\"\\\\\\" //dr \\"$REMOTE\\" //sc .

But the TC compare tool seem only to be used in SourceTree before, or after the merge. While I want to use the TC compare tool during the merge: I want to compare the 2 projects during the merge. I want to have full control over what will be merged. Right now there are too many negative surprises after the merge in SourceTree.

You have suggestions how to use the TC compare tool by comparing both complete branches during the merge in SourceTree?

Thanks a lot.


author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi Mark,

although I cannot say something specific at this point I wanted to express the "guess" that the culprit could be the blank space in "c:/program files/".

This is something that is seen regularly - but in no way limited to Sourcetree, Git or so.

Possible you could rule out this source of trouble by creating a directory without space for this purpose.

Let us hear from you if you got it fixed.

Cheers,  
Daniel

comments: author: Mark van der Lee
body: Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately the blank space was not the problem.

The good news is I finally got it working yesterday. By using '//' instead of '/' everything works perfectly. This results in the following SourceTree settings for TwinCAT:

External command:  
"C:\\TwinCAT\\3.1\\Components\\TcProjectCompare\\TcProjectCompare.exe"

External diff parameters:  
"//filel $LOCAL //filer $REMOTE //dl 'Mine' //dr 'Theirs' //sc"

External merge parameters:  
"//filel $LOCAL //filer $REMOTE //filem $MERGED //dl 'Mine' //dr 'Theirs' //sc"
SourceTree crashes when trying to view staging hunks
Asked by Christine Soltys:

I keep experiencing a problem with my SourceTree (version 2.4.7.0) where it crashes while I'm trying to view the hunks of a changed file. This most frequently happens with changes to python or xml files. I can stage the entire file, but often need to read through the file to ensure I am staging the correct hunks. This is the crash report:

![sourcetree crash report.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/117016iB9197441E92A5E20/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "sourcetree crash report.PNG")

I haven't found any way around this to date, other than using 'Stage all'. I often can't even get the unstaged files to be deleted, unless I delete my whole repository and clone anew.

SourceTreee also crashes even when simply trying to view the file changes, after committing using 'Stage all'.

Any advice??


Answers:
author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi Christine,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

From the download page I read that there are meanwhile [updated versions](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives) out. Maybe an update of Sourcetree suffices to make this annoying crashes past.

If this should not do the trick there is the option [to have a look into logfiles](https://confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/sourcetree-logfile-location-675384748.html). Sometimes this provides information on why Sourcetree crashes in certain situations.

Please check and let us hear from you if it helped.

Confluence Databases Feature Requests
Asked by Philip Mather:

Having created a Confluence Database of our people from a Workday CSV export in a few clicks I'd like to request the following features (in order) to make it even better...

1) Below the "Lock structure" option I'd like a "Lock content" option such that it removes any "Add entry" option in the different views.

2) When embedding a database to another page, as well as "URL", "Inline", "Card" \& "Embed" I'd like a "View". Much like the "Embed" option but without the border, titles, view picker, hidden fields, card layout or Ellipsis menu items such that it comes out as an extremely clean, nearly readonly type display. Ideally sized to it's content so there's no scrolling.

3) I'd like a GitHub style "Raw View" for CSV in a manner that can be passed to Confluence Apps. Specifically at the moment I take a CSV export and paste it into a draw.io \> Arrange \> Advanced \> CSV... template that then renders a set of cards into an org chart for us.

Appreciate 3 is a bit of a stretch, can provide screenshots of my ideas for 1 \& 2 if someone messaged me but all my current example of staff names/details in so I don't want to share obviously. 1 \& 2 are, really, mandatory if I wanted to continue to use Confluence Databases. The Databases make things very easy but currently displaying the data is a little clunky.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

<br />

I can confirm that this is happening due to this bug:

* [On a public page, the Panels macro only renders if one of the default emojis is inserted](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-77164)

In order to make the content display with the public links, from the panels, it would be necessary to apply the default panel color and emoji:

![panel_color_emoji.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/328676iF8F6A0A212F8BCD7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "panel_color_emoji.png")

After changing the panels to be the default emoji and color and publishing the page, it should display the content again using the public links.

Hope this helps, but if you still are having any issue even with the workaround applied, please let me know.
