SourceTree is not accessing keychain items in macOS Sierra

Question

Have just updated to macOS Sierra, and now SourceTree will not see my Github keychain item when accessing repositories. I have checked the keychain item and it is there and has SourceTree permissions assigned. It asks me to type in the password repeatedly, but never completes.

Thank you for posting this. I was struggling with the same problem, and your workaround fixed it for me too.

I had a breakthrough with this: connect to your GitHub repository in the terminal and pull, commit or whatever you need to do. After doing this, SourceTree suddenly worked. I think the Terminal accessing the keychain somehow fixed it in Sierra.
