Using submodules and subrepositories
A headline feature of SourceTree 1.3 is the support for submodules (in Git) and subrepositories (in Mercurial). The terms may be different, but they refer to the same concept; that of nesting other repositories within the folder structure of your own repository. The most common reason for wanting to do this is that your project […]
JIRA integration & other external project links
SourceTree 1.3 makes it easy to navigate to JIRA issues which are associated with your commits – and in fact to other supporting information like Crucible reviews or any predictable pattern in a commit message that you can identify. Linking a repository to a JIRA project If you’re committing code to resolve a JIRA issue, […]
Smart branching with SourceTree and Git-flow
Note: for brevity this article refers to Git and git-flow, but SourceTree supports exactly the same concepts in Mercurial via Hg Flow too. In early 2010, Vincent Driessen wrote an article called “A successful Git branching model” which recommended an approach called git-flow to use git branches in your development cycle. The idea was to standardise branching and merging […]

Since launching the 2.0 beta in January and acting on the feedback we’ve received since, […]
SourceTree 2.0 for Windows – 3x faster than SourceTree 1.9
Performance was one of the key things we wanted to address while working on SourceTree 2.0 for Windows. It was a cause of frustration for many of you, and we knew we could do much better to improve your experience with SourceTree. Rather than focus on one performance attribute or one git command, we took […]
SourceTree support moving to Atlassian Community
Starting Tuesday, May 9th, we will be supporting SourceTree through the new Atlassian Community. Dedicated support via Atlassian Community In the past we focused on providing support to SourceTree users with their various setup and configuration issues via support.atlassian.com. Analysing many of these resolutions, we realised that the nature of these support requests didn’t necessitate private […]
Windows 2.0 gets a fresh look
SourceTree 2.0 brings massive wins not only for performance, but for design. In this release, we’ve continued to address the number one customer feedback theme: UI complexity. To this end, we’ve brought some much needed consistency and simplicity to the interface. A proper home for tabs The Windows App always used tabs for navigating between […]
Open Source Announcement: phased releases for Sparkle-based macOS apps
Many macOS apps like SourceTree are distributed outside of the Mac App Store and provide in-app updates via a popular open source framework – Sparkle. Using Sparkle, SourceTree pushes out updates to all users simultaneously whenever the Appcast.xml file is updated. While suitable for its intended purpose, these days many web services favor rolling out updates to groups of users in an […]
Engineering a darker SourceTree
A “non retina-burning” update for SourceTree on macOS has been on our radar for a long while, and recently our senior designer Joel Unger came up with a mock-up on how it might look. We went back and forth on limitations and compromises (i.e. the old expectations versus reality phase) while exploring the concept during ShipIt, Atlassian’s well known hackathon. From there it […]

Our Sourcetree team has taken this idea to heart in macOS by providing greater visibility into your builds, giving you more context and confidence […]
Making you faster with Sourcetree 2.4 for Windows
We listened closely to all of your feedback about the pain points that remained in the 2.x release of Windows, and the resounding chorus was… performance, performance, performance! While we’d already integrated LibGit2 with great success it wasn’t a panacea. We knew we could do better but needed more data. Under the covers We began by adding the Process Log, which helps […]
