Can a flag be added to a file in Sourcetree so folks know I'm working on it?

I'm quite non-technical. I helped get SourceTree (bitbucket) up for our group to store and update files. Often times several of us need to work on the same file but want to make sure we aren't downloading it before someone else who is working on it offline has uploaded. Is there a way to 'check out' or 'flag' a file in SourceTree so we don't accidentally work on the same file?

No. That is not a concept that you would find in Git. That is something you'll find in Clearcase but I digress.

The purpose of using Git is for everyone to have their own copy of the files / code and make all the changes they deem fit. And once the code is pushed back into the central repository and if conflicts are found within the file, then yeah, you'll have to fix them.

Thanks for the info... unfortunate for my team who is using it for something I guess it wasn't built for....
