Always to fillin credentials for git-credential-manager even when I work only with mercurial sourcet
Asked by Michael Schrading:

I have got SourceTree 1.10.23.1.

Working with mercurial but not with git.

When I pull or push from sourcetree a window popup comes with:

Git Credential Manager for Windows

Enter your credentials for <https://code.foo.ba/>

Then I have to fillin always my credentials to work with which is boring...

My question how to avoid this?  

Thank you

body: Thanks, seems to work for me!


author: Geoff Bache
body: Hi,

I have a pretty similar problem, though mine is worse... I have both Git and Mercurial repos in the same SourceTree.

I try to push to Mercurial and the Git Credentials Manager comes up. I type in my credentials and it just comes up again, they aren't accepted even though they are correct for Git. If I push to a Git repo it works fine.

I have enabled mercurial_keyring via the sourcetree options but if I try to push from a command prompt I get a warning that it cannot find mercurial_keyring. Don't know if this is why it switched to Git. I am using an embedded mercurial, switching to the system Mercurial doesn't work.

Only way to push to hg now is from the command prompt, with the system hg. Annoying...

How do I log out of source tree on a mac
Asked by Frank Yingst:

I had a username in Preferences-\>Network so I removed that. But still I am logged in. Even logging off of the computer and then getting back in I am still logged into SourceTree. How do I log out?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Frank, it's not possible to log out from SourceTree. Once you register the product with your Atlassian account, the only way to remove this account is to delete the Json file from your installation.

Hope this helps!

Is there a way to set the default pull location (remote & branch)?
Asked by Robert Powers:

I pull from upstream and push to origin, but the default pull location is always origin and I need to remember to select upstream each time. Is there any way to change this in the config file or menu settings?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Robert! To achieve that you'll need to add your preference to the repo's config file in SourceTree. To do so, open SourceTree, navigate to the repo and click **Settings (cog icon on the top right corner) \> Remotes \> Edit Config File**. Then, if you don't have it already, add a section for the branch you want to configure and add your remote there, it will look something like:

```
[branch "master"]    remote = upstream    merge = refs/heads/master
```

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions and we'll be glad to help :)

Cheers,

Ana

comments: author: Robert Powers
body: Does this change the default push settings to upstream?

If so, I've just exchanged one problem for another.


author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Robert, I tested it and my push settings remained to origin. Is this not the case for you?


author: Robert Powers
body: Nope. It didn't work for me. origin is still the default.

How to get LFS to track files by extension regardless of casing?
Asked by cse_jskaggs:

Hi Everyone. I have SourceTree running on MacOS, and I was wondering how I can add file extensions to Git LFS regardless of whether the extension contains upper and/or lower case lettering?

As an example, I have \*.3ds in my LFS tracking list, but I just tried to commit a file with a .3DS extension, and I was warned that I should add the file type to LFS because it was over 2mb.

I don't want to add every possible combination to the list (\*.3Ds, \*.3dS. \*.3DS, \*.3ds) for all file types we want tracked. Surely there must be a way. Thoughts?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi Jade, at the moment there isn't any workaround for that. It's been reported as a bug at [SRCTREEWIN-6616](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-6616). Please watch it to be notified of further updates, you can also comment on it if there's something you'd like to ask.

Hope this helps!

Does SourceTree 2.0.19.1 support URL:sourcetree links from bitbucket?
Asked by amartin_watlow:

It stopped working when I installed SourceTree 2, it was working on 1.9


Answers:
author: Ronald C_
body: Hey Aaron,

Would it be possible for you to try to navigate to **Tools\>Options\>General(Tab)** and check whether the *Use this version of SourceTree for URI Association*Option is ticked?

comments: author: amartin_watlow
body: The URI association box is checked.

"Clone in Sourcetree" seems to work, but "Checkout in Sourcetree" doesn't work.

A dialog box that says "downloading file... extracting file... " pops up for a second, then nothing.


author: Dean Kinane
body: I'm having the same issue since the update to v2.

It just does nothing when I click the link, the browser doesn't give me the usual prompt about opening an external application or anything.

Also if you right click a branch in SourceTree and click Create Pull Request it just 404s in the browser since the update.
Embedded Git won't update to latest version

If I click Tools \> Options \> Git \> Update Embedded Git in SourceTree, ST starts downloading Git 2.10.2, which I already have. Hovever, the latest version of Git is 2.11.1, fixing several issues including security vulnerabilities.

SourceTreeSetup-1.10.23.1.exe flashes logo and does nothing
Asked by brasingtontellus:

I uninstalled source tree and I am trying to install it again. (Uninstalled via "remove programs' in windwos 10).

The setup just flashes a source tree logo at me for a few milliseconds and then exits. No error message, no log, nothing i can find to figure out what is happening.

I tried running as adminstator, running from command prompt, cleaning up after it with geek.exe, etc., nothing works. It just flashes something ever so briefly and exits.


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi David,

That can be caused by corrupted registry keys or by a corrupted user.config file for SourceTree. For the first one, you can find the solution at [Installation of SourceTree is not successful in Windows.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/the-installation-update-or-removal-of-sourcetree-is-not-successul-on-windows-735642921.html)

For the second one, you can find it at [Sourcetree crashes on startup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/sourcetree-crashes-on-startup-831655339.html).

Let us know if that solves your issue!

Specify host URL and credentials in Tools | Options
Asked by Brian Buttolph:

I've gone thru the wizard on initial program startup and must have done something wrong. I need to specify the credentials for my company's Bitbucket server but I don't see it in Tools \| Options.

How do I fix this or start over from the beginning?

To fix that you need to open SourceTree and go to **Preferences \> Accounts**. Were you able to add it now?

comments: author: Brian Buttolph

I was able to fix it by going to Repository \| Repository Settings... selecting Add, changing the Host Type dropdown to Bitbucket and filling out the Host Root URL and Username. This caused the entry to reappear in the Saved Passwords grid.

Confiforms: Text masks and masked input
Asked by Bartosz Dro?d?al:

Hi,

i have a problem with Masked Text field type Numeric in Registration FormView.  
I would like this field to have, for example:

2) if i entry in this field 123456700 the field showed the value 1 234 567,00

App for Confluence cloud backup & restore
Asked by Stefan Rodic:

So I was on this site [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud\&product=confluence\&query=backup](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=backup) looking for some apps that can help me automatise process of backup and restore ( if it needed)  

Do any of you haave experience with app Rewind Backups For Confluence ? Is it good and simple ?   

Also I can see that pricing is free under 10 members, we have like 650 members in our company but since we don't need for every member app, we just need for 1 persone to do that it will be free If Im not mistaken ?


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Stefan Rodic](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5334518)

Welcome to the community.

I don't know this app, but be aware of the following.

Most the app will not backup all information or even none from apps you use in Confluence.

One the pricing you are not correct I'm affraid.

If you have 650 users, your app needs to be licensed for 650 as well. This is how the Atlassian app eco system works.

If you need apps for a specific Atlassian Application, the app will use the license tier of that application.

So if your Confluence has a 650 user license, all apps you would need, will be licensed for 650 users and the according cost.

You can also look at the following [documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-site-backup/) on how to backup your Confluence instance yourself and how to restore it.

Also know, that if you backup and restore, the restore is done at full so it will overwrite all information not in the backup

No, if you will change a name all links will work because inside url's you have space key. Even if you decide change space key links will work too. Confluence will remember old space key and redirect to new link.
