How can I distinguish between different accounts?

I have different accounts in Sourcetrees, e.g. to different GitLab CE servers.
When I now want to add a remote repository, I see a list of my accounts, everywhere I have the same user name. How can I distinguish which account belongs to which server?
Can I add a description field or display the URL to the server in this overview?

Hi @MacDisein

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

To see which account belongs to which server i would open Tools > Options > Accounts (on macOS Sourcetree > Settings > Accounts), because that list shows the host URL for each account and lets you map which identical username belongs to which GitLab CE server.

There is no description field for the account picker, so I would either use a slightly different username per server or skip the picker entirely and paste the full clone URL under Repository > Add Remote.

Cheers, Martin
