Sourcetree, default branch setting

[Dan Katz]

Is there a way to set the log view default branch to current branch instead of all branches?

[Graham Mickle]

This is really sloppy Atlassian. It has been over 3 years. What is going on?

+1 In my opinion there are two issues here:

1. You cannot set that default yourself - that's a missing feature
2. But the fact that after I do change it manually, I expect it to stay this way! and not revert back to the default and annoying "All Branches" option. That's definitely a bug!

+1 for me. 6 years later, such a small issue is still not solved. Maybe it's time to find another Git UI...

[Keith Wedinger]

+1 While it is true that one can change the view to Current Branch, this change does not stick. Please add an option to default to Current Branch and to default All Parents to First Parent.

[Steve Daly]

+1 from me. Makes viewing the log MUCH easier.

[Jouni Alanen]

It seemed way too difficult to open a "JIRA request" for this, but I really cheer for this, would be a very useful feature!

[Dan Katz]

I think my issue is that whenever I double tap a branch in the navigator, it switches to all branches, which I don't like. I can work around this by right clicking the branch and select checkout branch, but it would be nice for it not to switch the setting.

Please. Please. It's been 6 years and it's a SINGLE FEATURE I'M DOING ALL THE TIME!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[guyarad]

Seriously atlassian? You don't have the resources to add one small feature that we've been waiting for so long?

Got it... I'll do my thinking.

[Deleted user]

+1 for me.  Apparently there's an ER that was opened in 2016 for this issue -- make sure to vote for that, as well.

[Brian Boyd]

And they've Closed this JIRA, and marked it as Unresolved!  We shouldn't expect this to be changed any time soon, disappointing since this is clearly a frustrating aspect of SourceTree.  Oh well, another reason to find another git UI ...

Recommendations for Mac?

4 Yrs later, this is still an issue / inconvenience for users.  The current behavior is fine, just add a preference for us to choose what we want it to default to.  Thats all we really need. PLEASE.

[pricketts]

+1 Need this badly. Frustrating.

[baljitkarwal]

Is it gonna fixed any time soon?

[Samuel Maljaars]

+1 totally agreed, it is frustrating, why is this not fixed yet?

[Kyle Taylor]

+1 to this, it's incredibly confusing when ALL branches are shown when clicking through branches. That's the main reason why we're switching through the branches, right?

[Ollie Monk]

+1 Would love to have this integrated! Using SourceTree at work as we're fully integrating Atlassian, used Tower before this and was default behaviour.

[tom marthaler]

+1 Would be great if there was an option to persist the branch view.

[Emory]

+1 here as well. Would love this. All of my colleagues are always manually switching back to "Current Branch" as well. This would save a lot of time while sifting through commits across the dozens of branches folks create over time.

[ssteele]

+10 like steve said, but more votes

[Jeff Thomas]

Ah! I see that behaviour too. I'm not sure if that's a feature or a bug, but you may want to open up a JIRA request to fix/implement it.

[Jeff Thomas]

Hey Dan, at the top of the log there is a drop down menu that is set to "All Branches" by default. You can change that to "Current Branch" and the log will only show commits from the checkout branch. Is that what you're trying accomplish?
