restore older version of SourceTree

Renato

Hi.

I just updated my MAC SourceTree to v1.9.0 and I really regreat. I want to go back to the previous version.

How can I do that while preserving all the repositories info already registered with it?

Accepted answers

I find the new commit view, or "experience" as Atlassian puts it, to be more confusing than just using the command line. For that reason, I've uninstalled Source Tree. Hopefully they'll bring back the old version, but I won't hold my breath.

Same here. The new commit view is terrible.

Mike Simms

BTW, if you install through the App Store you can still get v.1.5.6 - then just disable updates. It's not a long-term solution, but it'll work for now.

I just "solved" it. I was able to get the previous version (1.8.2) from the link below and install it over the v1.9. So, I am now with the 1.8.2 and didn't not lose my repositories entries (which I think would have happened if I uninstalled it).

Just a "me too", the new view is a definite step backwards, much harder to scan over and see what's going on.

Same here. I can't get used to the new view.

Remon Pel

The new view I can get used to, but what I can't get used to is;

No context-menu-item for commit
The checboxes activate/deactivate staging of the files, the interface is a bit slow there and I get a lot of miss-clicks when I try to work too fast
(most important) SourceTree 1.9.0 seems to freeze often during a push (1 in 5 pushes lock up ST and it needs a Force Quit)

Needless to say, I reverted to 1.8.1.

Thank you, though, Atlassian for continuing development, but I'll wait for 1.9.3 or higher until I try again.

All your complaints and more have been hashed out in detail on this other question. Instead of continuing to complain to the community (most of us have no influence over SourceTree development), please go to the bug reports in that post and vote.

For Windows downgrade use this link:

http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/SourceTreeSetup_1.5.2.exe

The new file view is completely broken in 1.6.3

aandriano

sweet jesus thank you so much. i was about ready to uninstall this POS. the old one is way, way better.

Richard Jones7

Thank you! This new 1.6.x is too buggy for me

Richard Jones7

+1 on your number2. This is making me downgrade again

Greg Lincoln

Yes, thanks for this. 1.6.x is a usability disaster.

René Thiel

You can simply reduce the version numbers by changing the url.

Check out the following file - it contains download links to all previous versions. I was able to roll back from the very unstable 1.8.1 release to 1.7.0.

I experienced also a lot of trouble after upgrading from a good version (1.7.0.32509) towards the 1.8.x version

the biggest issue (for me) was the complete f*-up in git flow, i've lost an hour getting it up and running again.
(used a workaround via command line for getting my work done and let the program wait until next day)

Thanks to the link https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/update/windowsupdates.txt from Shane Triem

i reverted by uninstalling the 1.8.x version and reinstalling 1.7.0.
i was lucky when i saw my repo config was still there and git flow was running as a charm again.

I'll stick to this version for a looonng time now.

Daniel Shrader

Thanks!

after upgrading from 1.7 towards 1.8 nothing works well. Fail always when try to start new feature. Autofocus each xx second to "file status" tab and more a lot problems. I have come back to 1.7 and works like a charm.

Nico Verwer

Thank you so much for that link. I have gone back to 1.7 as well. Apart from looking awful, 1.8 is full of bugs. I guess I won't upgrade until 1.9.

Jim Howe

What is the process for downgrading on Windows? I downloaded the 1.7 release but when I run the installer it tells me that there is a newer version already installed. Very sorry that I bothered to upgrade at this point.

Thanks!

Shane Triem

Uninstall the new version in Programs and Features (Windows 8). Then install old version.

David Ozersky2

Same here, having issues with commits & merges

Craig Miles

I'm still using version 1.7.0 - I used the link below (Shane Triem) so that I can bypass the confusion of the later versions.

DJ Torres

version 1.9 does not like powershell. Even with the proper encoding and re-encoding to UTF-8.

The preview pane does not display powershell files which is the only reason why I am using soucetree
I reverted to 1.7 which is compatible with windows 10. The new interface did get some time to get used too but until it handles powershell files I will stay on 1.7

Seth

@DJ Torres - That's a very specific problem. Instead of commenting on a 2-year-old question, it might be more effective to submit a bug report to jira.atlassian.com.
