Latest notified update for Embedded GIT to 2.17.1.2 does not install update GIT-LFS
Asked by Christopher Whittemore:

Related to [this](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/How-to-permanently-remove-a-notification-under-the-flag/qaq-p/821533) issue the currently notified update to GIT does not appear to install when updated through the Tools \> Options \> Git \> "Update Embedded"   

It downloads PortableGit-2.17.1.2-32-bit.7z.exe  

After extracting and restarting SourceTree the Embedded GIT still shows 2.17.1/LibGit2Sharp 0.24.0 + git-lfs v2.0.2 and notifies that an update to Git-LFS is available.

author: minnsey
body: Hi  

Can you check the version of Git_LFS.exe in %localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree/git_extras? Is that the 2.0.2 version?  

Sourcetree should remove that copy.  

Alternatively is it possible you have another copy of Git-LFS installed independently but visible via your PATH?

comments: author: Jeroen Brattinga
body: I'm experiencing the same issue. There's no Git_LFS.exe in %localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree/git_extras and no other copy visible via my PATH (typing git_lfs just gives me a "not recognized" message).

Is there anything else I can check?


author: Jeroen Brattinga
body: I've found the problem already (of course right after posting my question first :-) )

I found 2 versions on my system:

* %localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree/git_local/mingw32/libexec/git-core contained v2.0.2
* %localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree/git_local/mingw32/bin contained 2.4.2

Disabling the first version (by renaming the file to .NOT) solved the issue.


author: Nathan Niesen
body: Thanks [@Jeroen Brattinga](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1386816)! I had the same issue with the embedded Git and the "A newer version of git-lfs is available" and found that my \`Sourcetree/git_local\` also had the duplicate \`git-lfs.exe\` files with dates that didn't match the other files in the "distributions".

Since there were other files with old dates as well I took the following approach to "reinstalling" the embedded git:

1. Exit SourceTree
2. Delete \`%localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree/git_local\`
3. Start SourceTree
4. Chose to install embedded git when SourceTree complained about not finding it.

Authentication failure with OpenSSH on Windows
Asked by distee:

Hey everybody,

I have been using SourceTree on Windows for some time now without thinking much about it (good thing!). With the latest update SourceTree suggested that I should update the embedded git I have been using. After doing so SSH access to my repositories does no longer work.

I have been using OpenSSH and I assume the following should work:

- \[cmd\] generate a key pair with *ssh-keygen*

- add the public key on the web site

- \[cmd\] test config with *ssh -T git@bitbucket.org*, running this tells me things work fine

- add the private key in SourceTree so that it shows up under Tools/Options/General

I noticed that the git-bash I can start from SourceTree does not produce any output for ssh commands. This made me run the key generation and test from the Windows command shell. This also means that *ssh-add -l* is not helpful for me (*ssh-add -l \>\>foo.txt 2\>\&1* produces an empty file).

Why do I not see anything when using ssh commands in the git-bash?

I would expect SSH access to work when \[cmd\] *ssh -T ...* tells me things are fine. Instead I get *"fatal: Could not read from remote* repository" on cloning in bash. Where do I go wrong?

Best, Dirk


Answers:
author: distee
body: Thanks for the hint!

Keep up the good work, I prefer Sourcetree over the command line any day.


author: minnsey
body: Hi  

I'm guessing you have openSSH selected as the *SSH Client* in the Tools/Options/General tab.  

Do you have *Automatically start SSH agent...* checkbox checked and if so can you see openSSH starting up when you start Sourcetree?  

Is ssh-agent running in Task Manager.  

To be honest I use PuTTY/Pagaent more often than openSSH and find it more reliable.

comments: author: distee
body: Yep, I was running openSSH. Things were fine (for more than a year) until I upgraded the embedded git to 2.17.1 (as suggested by the orange flag). Now I am also running on PuTTY/Pagaent.

Nonetheless, I wonder whether I went wrong somewhere or whether this is a bug. SSH commands not giving any output in the git-bash smells buggy to me.


author: minnsey
body: Thanks for the information.  

Without want to shirk any responsibility, if there is an issue in Git Bash then it is more likely to be an issue with Git for Windows itself rather than Sourcetree.

Access Error
Asked by kevin:

Good day,

I've checked the SSH key in BitBucket, re-added it, and I'm still getting this error:

```

Please help,

Answers:
author: Manju
body: I'm guessing you are using a Mac.

Please check if the ssh-agent has your keys loaded. If not, please add them to the agent.

Run below commands in terminal to do so,

To check if keys are loaded:

```
ssh-add -l
```

To add keys to agent:

```
ssh-add <path_to_key>
```

more like,

```
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```

Key in the passphrase used while generating the ssh key and you should be good to go.

Sourcetree since version 2.5.5 paginates remote repositories starting with 1 and not 0 like before
Asked by Jose Trotonda:

Why Sourcetree Windows since version 2.5.5 paginates remote repositories starting with 1 and not 0 like before?

With Bitbucket Server this is a problem because the first repository of the project is not retrieved. So if you have only one repository in your projects, in Remote repositories tab, not repositories are shown.

Now when you go to Remote repositories tab to clone a repository and select an account, Sourcetree sends this REST request for every project

GET http://xxx:7990/rest/api/1.0/projects/ENCPOPUP/repos?limit=30\&start=1

With SourceTree 2.4.8 the request was:

GET http://xxx:7990/rest/api/1.0/projects/ENCPOPUP/repos?limit=1000\&start=0

The response for the first request is 0 repositories (incorrect), the response for the second one is 1 repository(correct).

I suppose the problem in Sourcetree 2.5.5 is this change: **Paginated remote repositories \[performance and UX boost\]**

But why starting with 1?

**There is any configuration that I can change in Sourcetree to make this request start with 0?**

Why can't I login to Sourcetree with my Atlassian.com credentials/
Asked by Buhler IT Administrator:

Trying to use the same credentials in Sourcetree that I logged into the atlassian.com website with to ask this question but in Sourcetree getting error "Something went wrong while attempting to validate your credentials".

Also, the latest version of Sourcetree available for download on your website is 2.5.5 but immediately upon installing it, it says there is a 2.6.6 version available. Where can I can get the enterprise .msi version of 2.6.6?


Answers:
author: Jason Armistead
body: Authentication depends on a .NET control that uses Internet Explorer. For some reason it is broken in the installer. Many people have reported this over the last year (approx), but for some reason, Atlassian hasn't fixed it.

For me, the solution that worked was to use a Google account, rather than my Atlassian one. That seemed to work.

Totally bizarre and frustrating. Rest assured you aren't the only one who has encountered this. Hopefully Atlassian fix this soon.

Good luck !

Sourcetree
Asked by M Childs:

I am interested in installing Sourcetree on our server. What do I need besides the Sourcetree download? Do I have to get Mercurial or Git in addition to Sourcetree or is it included in the download? Is there client software to connect to and use Sourcetree from user's computers?


Answers:
author: Ana Retamal
body: Hi! During the installation you'll be prompted to choose if you want to use embedded or system Git. If you want to use the embedded one, you can download it from there, otherwise, you can get it at [Git downloads](http://git-scm.com/download/).

In relation to the second question, we don't provide any software to connect to someone else's computer, you'll need to look into specific software that will allow you to take control over other's machines.

Hope that helps!

How to disable the Alias account login into Atlassian cloud
Asked by sampath kunapaneni:

Hi,  

I have a question about to disable the Alias account login into Atlassian cloud. Since users have access with firstname@company.domain as primary email to access the Atlassian, But how to restrict them to use firstname.lastname@company.domain to login into Atlassian.  

Since I haven't find any option to disable the Alias account login into Atlassian...  
Could anyone suggest the possible options and ways to slove this one!!

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@sampath kunapaneni](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5155634) There really is not a way to prevent it from occurring. Atlassian has no way to know that it is an alias. If you are using SAML authentication you might be able to prevent it on the SSO provider side to prevent the provisioning of the access.

Galleries that look like Attachments?
