Perhaps you misunderstand the meaning of Source Control in their conext?

What it means is that, since you do the coding, your "the Source", and by keeping you chasing your tail they've got you under control.

Any questions?

Its not SourceTree that is the issue. I fought against Git when I first started using it. Now I can't imagine not using it. Take a deep breath and learn how it works.

This article helped me understand it better.

We've been using it for at least half a year now. No improvement Sigh | :sigh:

At least I've installed TortoiseGit as it's so much better than SourceTree (I've used TortoiseSVN before Git).
For example, in SourceTree it's impossible to just have the commits of a single file (or they've really hidden that feature). It's a breeze in Tortoise.
The file compare in SourceTree is horrible (sometimes I just can't get the full "before" and "after" version of a commit), very easy and clear in Tortoise.
I'm afraid I'm past the "deep breath" part, at least as far as SourceTree is concerned.

I prefer Git. Just takes some time to get used to. Been using Bitbucket for almost 2 years now, with Tortoise.

Yeah, installed it today (see my reply above your post).
I've always used TortoiseSVN for years and TortoiseGit is pretty much the same.
At least it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than SourceTree Big Grin | :-D

SourceTree is a piece of [REDACTED] fecal matter. That's all that needs to be said.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Welcome to git. git reset --hard is your friend, haha.

That, and just wiping the folder and doing a git clone again.

Personally, I find GUI tools like SmartGit/Hg to be very helpful, once I figured out (but now I don't remember) which branch to click on when I want to merge another branch in. That and figuring out how to integrate changes multiple people made to the same file. I can't believe we still use ++++ and VVVVV and ^^^^^ to designate changes, and who the hell remembers whether VVVV means my changes or your changes. F***ing archaic legacy from the Unix world. Oh wait...

GitHub app for windows isn't much better except it just does that "colleague changed a file" stuff for you without asking. The extra commit just shows up.

My new mantra has become:

Change branch
Pull
Create Commit
Pull
Sync Commit
Pull

Git is further proof that Linus doesn't like people.

Are you Silver Box or Black box? Sorry, Apple or Windows (where I work all the PC's are black).

The Silver Box people love Git, the Black Box people not so much. But then Silver Box people like belonging to cults.
