After Windows updates on the system Sourcetree can't start
Question:
Can I reinstall SourceTree without loosing the version history?
Hi @Stephan Stroetz
Welcome to the Atlassian community!
Yes, you can reinstall safely. Sourcetree does not hold your commit history. That lives in the .git folder in each repo on disk and on the remote. Sourcetree only keeps bookmarks and settings.
.git
Before reinstalling, I would rename %LOCALAPPDATA%\Atlassian\SourceTree and restart the app. A Windows update often just corrupts those settings, and that alone fixes the start problem. Copy bookmarks.xml out of that folder first, so you get your repo list back.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Atlassian\SourceTree
bookmarks.xml
Cheers, Martin
