can't see all my gitlab's repositories

[Raphaël Veyrin]

Hello,

I got 445 repositories on my gitlab account, when refreshing account, it limits the output to about 100/200 repo i would say, so i'm missing to access half of my projects

Is anyone face this issue and have a countermeasure ?

Hi @Raphaël Veyrin

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

That looks like a paging limit rather than a permissions problem. Sourcetree walks the GitLab API page by page and stops after a certain number of pages, so with 445 projects you only ever get the first slice. Nothing in the UI lets you push that further.

What I would do instead of fighting the browser list:

• Clone by URL. Copy the SSH or HTTPS URL from GitLab and use File > Clone / New paste it there. The account credentials still apply, so you do not lose authentication.
• Keep the account only for auth, and treat the repository list as a convenience that does not scale.

If you need this for many repos at once, I would script the clone with the GitLab API and then just add the local folders to Sourcetree in bulk.

Is this still a problem for you, or did a newer version of Sourcetree fix the listing?

Cheers, Martin
