Existing repos not there after updating from 1.9 to 2.x?

Question

Hi,

I updated from 1.9 to 2.x today. When I launched 2.x, none of my existing cloned projects was listed in the app. I had to re-clone. Have any of you discovered a way to update to 2.x without losing your existing repos? I am hoping someone knows how to do this so the rest of my team can avoid this problem.

Some things that might have impacted this for me:

1) The installer told me to uninstall 1.9, which I did. Could the uninstall have removed SourceTree's knowledge of my repos? I'm pretty sure I did the uninstall after 2.x was installed; the 2.x installer prompted me to do this uninstall.

2) When I launched 2.x for the first time, the app immediately wanted to be updated to 2.1.2.4, and I let it. I doubt that caused the issue, but wanted to mention it for completeness.

Thanks,

Steve

The rest of my team updated without issues, so I'll consider my experience an anomaly and not worry about it.

Thanks for your help!

Hello! It's possible there's a bug that prevented this from automatically occuring, but you shouldn't have had to re-clone your repos.

Tip: You can also drag the repo folders onto the Bookmarks area on a new tab to quickly re-add repos. I keep all my code in a master "Projects" folder so that I can easily select all and re-add if something goes wrong.
