Updating existing Bitbucket repo from SourceTree
Asked by Fred Riley:

Hi

This is my first appearance on this forum so please be gentle. I've got a few repos on Bitbucket which I last updated in September 2014 using Aptana (not the ideal Git client). I've installed SourceTree (to which I'm a newbie) on my Windows machine to try to manage these repos. I would like to update the repos on Bitbucket with my newer local files, but it doesn't look like this option is available. All I can see, on SourceTree installation, is the option to clone an existing repo to an empty directory on localhost, after which I guess I'd have to copy newer files to this local directory and commit them.

A more concrete example: say the remote repo is called '12monkeys'. I last committed to that repo from localhost on 1st September 2014, but I continued to work on the project locally to the current day. I would like to commit files stamped after September 2014 to the '12monkeys' from local host so that local and remote repos are synchronised.

I've tried the [fine manual](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/SOURCETREEKB/SourceTree+Knowledge+Base+Home) (what there is of it), have read the [FAQ](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/faq/), and have even tried a Famous Internet Search Engine, but can't see the question being asked, though that's perhaps I can't tie down the search terms that I should use. There's no SourceTree tutorial (as lamented [on this thread](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/149750/git-tutorial-using-sourcetree)) and the Windows version doesn't have the comprehensive Help that the Mac version does. Could folk on this board tell me if what I'm after is possible, or if I'm going to have to clone to localhost first.

It would help if Bitbucket had an upload option on the web interface, but that might not be git-friendly.

body: Just to answer my own unanswered query, I've wrestled for a couple of hours today with SourceTree in Windoze, and have concluded that it is a staggeringly useless product - indeed, it's worse than useless. The easiest things to do are hard, there are no diagnostics, dialogues don't appear ("launch SSH agent" fails, for instance), the 'waiting' icon twiddles for hours with no obvious activity, and above all there's no documentation to speak of. Back to Aptana for me - it's idiosyncratic, but at least I've got it working well with Bitbucket. Or maybe even the git command line as everything's out in the open with that, not hidden behind an impenetrable and inscrutable GUI.

Confluence is a fine product, and kudos to Atlassian on that. Sourcetree sucks the big one ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")

git
Add custom diff in SourceTree
Asked by Alessandro Cappello:

Hi everyone!

I'm attempting to make it possible to compare and merge MySQL WorkBench files in SourceTree, and in order to do so I created a small shell script that extracts the content of the .mwb file and strips some useless counters from the XML.  
Then I added this line to .gitconfig in the project's root:

```
[diff "mwbdiff"]        textconv = mwb-diff
```

and this in the .gitattributes:

```
*.mwb diff=mwbdiff
```

Now, if I change something on a .mwb, then git diff on console shows the correct differences, and SourceTree does it, too:

Screen Shot 2015-06-06 at 08.37.05.png

The problem is that if I try to do the same on already committed versions, I get nothing. Same if I try to merge:

Screen Shot 2015-06-06 at 08.39.31.png

I still get the right output if I try to run GIT from the console like this:

```
git diff develop feature/four -- test.mwb
```

I also tried to move the .gitattributes and .gitconfig changes into the global variables, and it actually works in the console, but it didn't help SourceTree.

What am I missing? How can I solve this problem?

author: Alessandro Cappello
body: Hi Simon,

I gave up on this, it's actually a limitation of SourceTree that cannot be bypassed.  
What I'm doing now is just to version the .mwb file without comparison.

unable to uninstall sourcetree
Asked by Praveen Kumar:

Hey guys, im a newbie to source tree. I wasnt able to clone my repository onto my local system. I got an issue with the repository type : This is not a valid source path/url though i am able to access the repo in bitbucket. I thought reinstalling source tree might help. But im unable to unistall Source Tree itself. Kindly suggest a fix. Thanks. Regards.


Answers:
author: Seth
body: The most obvious cause of the error is that the URL you're putting into SourceTree is wrong. I'm going to assume you've already checked that.

The next most common (but possibly LEAST obvious) cause of that error is if SourceTree has somehow been installed without installing Git. Go to Tools \> Options \> Git (might be slightly different on Mac), and examine the "Git Version" box to see if you can figure out what's wrong.
Can I disable the textual autocorrect for commit messages?
Asked by David Rhoderick:

It puzzles me why a code repository program autocorrects the text in the commit message. The other day it corrected "zurb" to "curb." Is there anyway to turn this off?


Answers:
author: Seth
body: I'm guessing you're on Mac? My understanding is that SourceTree uses native form controls, so textareas come with the OSX autocorrect.


author: David Rhoderick
body: Thanks a lot Seth! Yes, I am on Mac and I just disabled that option. I apologize; I thought that it was a SourceTree issue but this makes perfect sense.

When finishing feature with git flow in sourcetree, is it possible to let the feature branch merge directly/only into master branch instead of development?
Asked by Ingvi Olafsson:


Answers:
author: Tim Crall
body: SourceTree can do this, of course, but Seth is correct that it would be a pretty big deviation from GitFlow.

comments: author: Seth
body: Absolutely. SourceTree can do this, but not with the Git Flow Finish button, which was what the user asked. Instead, you have to checkout master and merge.


author: Seth
body: No, because that's not git flow.

Is it safe to remove features?
Asked by Koen van der Drift:

My project has many feature branches that are either merged back to main, or stale and no longer used. The sidebar in SourceTree is getting crowded, and I'd like to clean it up.

Is it safe to remove the features I no longer work on, without losing the code that was merged back?


Answers:
author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry
body: Yes, it is completely safe to remove these branches.

comments: author: Tim Crall
body: Remember that a "branch" is just an alias to a particular commit, much like a label. The only difference is that a branch always points to the tip of a development line. This is a bit different from our intuitive understanding of what a branch is (where we may think of it as there series of commits that brought us to this tip). This distinction is important. This means that when you delete a branch, you are only deleting the named pointer. You are not deleting any commits or the parent-child relationship between them. They will still be a part of your repos history, they just won't have a special name any longer.


author: Koen van der Drift
body: Excellent explanation - thanks.

push to multiple remote locations
Asked by Stephan Krauss:

Hello,

is there an way to push an branch to many remote locations in sourcetree ?

Your sincerly

Stephan


Answers:
author: rahuldanwade
body: Hi Stephan,

You need to add new remote.

click on Remotes select add remote and give unique alias in name section and URL of remote in url section.

But you have to explicitly select the remote in remotes section to which you need to push changes

while you can also add new remote through command line (terminal in SourceTree)

and while pushing data through command line put all the remotes in command

regards

Rahul Danwade


author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry
body: In SourceTreem, you can only push to one remote at a time. (You need to select which one in the Push dialog, if you have multiple remotes configured.)

Question about page excerpts
Asked by Jegues, Philippe:

Sometimes when I try to add another macro like an info panel, table or layout within an excerpt macro the macro get placed below the excerpt and not within it like I want it to. But I know it can work because I have done it before and I simply copy and paste it from other pages to continue using it.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

**Edit:** this also happens when trying to add a table to an info panel. But I know it works because I can simply copy an info panel from another page that already has a table in it and simply modify the table to suite my needs.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Jegues, Philippe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5294297) welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You are likely copying an info panel with the embedded table from a page that was created using the legacy editor. Nesting of these elements in the new editor is not possible. This is why your excerpts and info panels are not populating with the second macro you are trying to place in it.

Also, I have moved this from Questions for Confluence - which is a collection for content related to the Atlassian owned application Questions for Confluence - to the Confluence Questions collection.

Good luck!

Table Transformer - calculating target quarter
Asked by Megan:

I am using the Table Transformer Macro from tickets coming in from Jira with a Planned End Date. I want to take that date and add a new column titled Target Quarter, based on delivery.

Currently all columns are returning with the else FY24Q3, regardless of if they fit the constraints of the other quarters. What is incorrect here?

Auto Filter Data in Confluence
Asked by luan.dao:

Hi, I'm trying to auto filter table data in Confluence. I have one main Excel worksheet that I copy into Confluence. However, we have over 50 partner agencies that want to see the same worksheet but only allow them to see info related to their agency. We want a preset filter or something so they don't apply the filter themselves and see everyone else's data.

How it works is that they'll select their request type in JSM which will then take them to Confluence. I'm open to adjusting my approach to this problem. Any ideas on how I can approach this?


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@luan.dao](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5222749) ,

We develop the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app and can suggest trying the following workaround:

* insert the [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-macro-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and import your Excel table to it (or you may attach your file as a CSV attachment and recreate the source table using the Table from CSV macro)
* wrap the Table Spreadsheet or the Table from CSV macro in the Table Filter macro
* set the Free text filter for the corresponding column as "@currentuser" and hide the filtration panel not to confuse your users

Here "@currentuser" is a pattern to filter your table by that logged in user who are currently watching the page.

So, in your source file you need to create an additional column with usernames that match usernames in Confluence.

For example, for John Smith the name in Confluence looks like @jsmith.

Then your original table may look as:

Column 1 \| Column 2 \| User

Data A \| Text A \| @jsmith

Data B \| Text B \| @elee

Data C \| Text C \| @jsmith

When John views the page, he will get:

Column 1 \| Column 2 \| User

Data A \| Text A \| @jsmith

Data C \| Text C \| @jsmith

When Erin Lee @elee views the page, she will get:

Column 1 \| Column 2 \| User

Data B \| Text B \| @elee

Can't share a single calendar from the space calendars
Asked by Josh StGeorge:

I'm following this doc here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf720/share-calendars-1168861882.html>

Trying to get a link to share a single calendar from a space.

On step two it states

"Select the name of the calendar you want to share. You'll be taken to the detail page for the calendar -- it's just a page with that single calendar on it."

But when I click on the names of the calendars (or event types) it does not take me to a detail page.

Tried to check other documentation to see if there's some restrictions on who can share calendars but couldn't find anything.   

Are you not able to share individual calendars? Is there some other way to accomplish this? Are there undocumented restrictions like only owners can share their calendars, or if you only have view only rights you can't share?

How to refer back to/edit a page imported using Include Page macro
Asked by Christopher Fletemier:

As our documentation pages grow, we're finding it more and more useful to utilize the include page macro in order to keep information consistent and reduce page clutter.

We know about the suggestion of keeping a "library" of content to be included in other pages, but the one piece that seems to be missing is having any sort of link or other means to view and edit the original page that has been included.

Has anyone else experienced this challenge?


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Christopher Fletemier](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/512824) I use and inclusions library (mostly for screenshots) and the Include Page macro.

If you open the page (Published mode) and select **... \> Advanced details \> Page Information** , the **Outgoing Links** section shows the pages linked with the Include Page macro.

I use the convention of an underscore at the beginning of page names in my inclusions library, so it's easy for me to distinguish which files are direct links to another page and which are included pages.

These are links, so you can jump to the page to edit.
