Going forward, all your Git commands apply to the branch. In this example, the feature branch is the branch.Ĭonfirm you are now working on that branch: Using the list as reference, choose the branch you want to checkout. Notice that it lists both the branches that are local and the remote branches on Bitbucket. You should see something similar to the following:
Then, do the following:Ĭhange to the root of the local repository. On your local system, make sure you have a local repository cloned from the remote repository. Using Git to checkout a branch on the command lineįor the purposes of these steps, will refer to the name of your branch. Open the terminal on your local machine and change to the root directory of your repository.Īt the command line, enter the copied command from Bitbucket and press ENTER. Press the Check out button to display the appropriate check out command.Ĭopy the command (or choose Check out in Sourcetree if you'd rather use Sourcetree). In the repository's Branches, click the branch you want to checkout. If you're using Sourcetree, Bitbucket gives you a single button checkout.
The Bitbucket interface gives you the basic command for checking out a branch. When you checkout a branch, you should already have a local clone of the parent repository. If you plan to use branches a lot or want to know more, we recommend you learn more by visiting a site or buying a book devoted to the DVCS you are using (Git or Mercurial). It merely provides a pointer to help you understand how Bitbucket supports branches. The information on this page is not a definitive guide for either Git or Mercurial. Solution I posted as a comment in the above issue tracker link: Code: Run SourceTree. Defining Beyond Compare as a custom diff and merge tool rather than using SourceTrees Beyond Compare preset might fix the problem.
Until Sourcetree is updated to include a later version of it's embedded version of Git (2.26.2 is several releases behind now), I recommend installing Git for Windows standalone, and then set Sourcetools to use the "system version" of Git.Branching is an advanced technique. SourceTree issue tracker: SourceTree opens the external diff tool incorrectly. GCM Core supports OAuth-based authentication which is the requirement from GitHub now. GitHub recently () changed their authentication mechanisms to remove username/password-based authentication, that GCM4Windows used. This explains why you're seeing the older GCM4Windows prompts, and not GCM Core.Īs to why the older GCM4Windows no longer works with GitHub. The latest embedded version used by Sourcetools appears to be Git for Windows 2.26.2, which only includes the older, and now deprecated Git Credential Manager for Windows, not GCM Core. Is it the embedded version, or the system version? Which version of Git is being used by Sourcetools? Hi you open Sourcetools and go to: Tools > Options > Git, and scroll down to the "Git Version" section. The new GCM (GCM Core, this project) supports the new authentication mechanism GitHub now require, however Sourcetree isn't using it.Ĭan you please set the following environment variables, restart Sourcetree, and then upload the resulting log file? If that's the case, then the reason is that GitHub has removed the username/password-based authentication the older GCM for Windows used to use to create authentication tokens (see here). I assume that these are images of authentication prompts you're getting whilst using SourceTree, and that entering username/password(/2FA code) in these no longer works? Something went wrong in your reply of images with GitHub - I cannot see them. That error message comes from GCM for Windows: It looks like Sourcetree is using an old version of GCM (GCM for Windows). So, if you want to follow exactly what I did. I closed Visual Studio as well, just in case 3.5 I switched to DevOps format from Organization settings in DevOps website. Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt. I am using SourceTree for Windows version 3.2.6. no-optional-locks push -v -tags -set-upstream GitHub_Git_Test Git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false The Checkout option from the dropdown menu is used to branch from any other branch.
This is what I get from Sourcetree when I try to push to To install SourceTree you need a (free) BitBucket account. To use Sourcetree, because that gives me much better visibility of branchesĪnd commits.
