How can I set Sourcetree as the default git client on MacOS

Xirion11

I used to only use Fork for my personal projects, but after I started a new job I decided to use Sourcetree for my job, but every time I try to add the new account (it is recognizing my personal account that I use in Fork) it shows the "Grant Access" web page, and when I click on Grant Access I get a message that says "Do you want to allow this page to open "Fork.app"? and I have not been able to change this to sourcetree.

I've already tried to

• Edit the global git configuration adding the helper parameter
• I could not right click a repository and change the open with app because the repo is a folder not a file
• git config --global url."git://".insteadOf "sourcetree://"

Hi @Xirion11

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

This is a macOS URL scheme handler issue, not a git setting, so I would look at LaunchServices instead of git config.

Fork has likely claimed the scheme. I would rebuild the handler database in Terminal:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Then restart the Mac and relaunch Sourcetree so it re-registers.
I would revert the url.insteadOf line in your global config, since it will not help here and can affect clones later.

Cheers, Martin
