sh.exe Fatal: needs to be a branch. It does not exist and is required.

I'm trying to start a new feature from the working copy parent but I get:

> sh.exe Fatal: needs to be a branch. It does not exist and is required.

and the name of the branch also has a long hash. But if I start a new feature from the latest dev branch, then it works fine. What's going on? It used to work.

I'm on ST 2.5.5.0 and win 10.

Hello,

To start a branch, do you `git checkout -b branch-name` or is it automated somewhere?

If so, can you share your config?

I'm using Git Flow, it comes with source tree.

This is not just making a new branch or using cli.

You mean this file?

AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree.exe_Url_i4in3c5q4teqz4osjdo33qsze410ndkz\2.5.5.0\user.config? Doesn't it have private keys?

Yeah, I'm not prying, I was curious of the automated nature. But that isn't what's going on here.

Next step is to follow this key situation. Have you loaded your keys into your repo so it can authenticate directly?

Sela_Oren

What do you mean load keys to the repo? I can push pull and create branches without any problems or any login prompts.

Workaround:: make a new branch through clicking the branch icon, and putting the parent branch before the new.. [feature]/[new branch] .
Encountered the same problem but was able to work around it.

Yeah I know, but I might as well just use tortoise git instead if I do that.
