Relocate bookmarks.xml to maintain Sourcetree bookmarks throughout several machines.

Rony MIDAHUEN January 15, 2024

Is there a Sourcetree configuration file somewhere in "C:\Users\User123\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\" where I could configure the path where the file "bookmarks.xml" is created and managed?

Currently my "bookmarks.xml" is located here : "C:\Users\User123\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\bookmarks.xml". I would like it to be moved somewhere else i.e "S:\Share\NewLocationOfBookmarksFile\bookmarks.xml".

I would like to relocate "bookmarks.xml" to a shared location of my choice so that changes (for example, addition of new repos) will reflect automatically on every machines.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This is a right pain to do on poor operating systems like Windows, but a doddle on unix-like ones.

<smug mode engaged> *nix users can just say "ln -s <file on any system I can see> <target file>".

Windows is a lot more rubbish, you will need to tell it to mount S: as a drive, and then to link the file via the S: drive

Thanks for your thoughts.


Unfortunately, we're all on Windows and I have to agree with you regarding its rigidity.
S:\ is already mounted on all PCs.
I don't understand what you mean by "link the file via the S: drive

Thanks for your insights.

Sorry, I should have included the URL to the docs - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/creating-symbolic-links
