Incorrect Git-Flow Warning?

Luke Burnham

I'm using Sourcetree 2.6.10 for Windows. When I launch the application I get a warning telling me that Git-flow is not supported and that I should upgrade to Git 2.17.1.2.

Under Tools/Options/Git the application shows that I'm using Embedded Git version 2.17.1/LibGit2Sharp 0.24.0 + git-lfs v2.4.2 so I don't understand why I'm getting the warning.

Is there something more that I need to do?

Hi

It is possible that this is a bug.

Sourcetree used to bundle its own copy of git-flow, we recently changed that to rely on the version that is now bundled with Git for Windows. As part of that there are 2 types of notification:

• Sourcetree can't find git-flow
  • (implying the Git install is an old version that doesn't include git-flow)
• Sourcetree can find git-flow but it is too old
  • (implying the Git install does bundle git-flow but it is an old copy)

If the git-flow button and actions are working then this is just an issue with the notifications.

Can you confirm the exact notification message?

Thanks
