At work we have an central git repository for our web app, and each developer has a clone of it on a VM where they do work. Is there a way to connect Source Tree to the remote repository without making a local clone of that repository?
Short answer, no.
Thechnically, you could mount the remote repository as network storage, but this is error prone. See this question, and the others linked from it: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/275021
Thanks for the quick response. Would you happen to know of git gui that has this feature or if its planned for SourceTree?
It's not a Git GUI problem, it's a Git problem. The foundational, command-line software is the source of those errors. The developers of Git would probably tell you that trying to manage a git repository on network storage is exactly what git was designed to avoid, regardless of your specific situation. Regardless, someone could, theoretically, develop a Git GUI that connected to a remote server over SSH and issued Git commands there. I don't know of any though.
