What does the red ! mark on the Remote Icon in the menu bar mean?

[regnadkcin]

Is ST I am seeing two confusing notations:

1) A red ! on the Remote icon on the right end of the menu bar. Tried logging in to the remote--worked fine but the ! is still there. I assume it means I need to attend to something. But what?

2) A (1 with an up arrow) floating under BRANCHES (looks like a misplaced Push Needed icon).

I attached a screenshot showing both. What are are they and how do I clear them? 

I'd appreciate any guidance. Been using (struggling?) with ST for over a year now; these are appearing in version 3.3.4 now. 

Also, for what it is worth, ST no longer notifies me that I need to do a pull when someone commits changes to our remote in GitHub Enterprise.

Thanks.

Follow up--I believe the reason I was no longer seeing the push/pull indicators was my local master was not tracking the remote. As soon as I restored tracking, I got the indicators back. I still don't know what to do with the red exclamation mark on the Remote icon.

I have the same issue with the red exclamation mark on the Remote icon everytime I launch Sourcetree thus preventing Pushing into remote repository

I found a work around,

Click on Settings : launches Remote Settings

Under Remote tab > Select the Remote repository paths and click Edit: launches Remote Details

Click OK on Remote Details

and again Click OK on Remote Settings

I find the red exclamation disappears letting and establishes connection to Bitbucket properly.

It would be good to know why it behaves this way and what is a permanent solution to it though.

Thanks for the tip.  I tried this however I still have the ! on the Remote icon.  If i get it resolved I will post an update.

Going down the path that Rinee_Bhattacharya mentioned led me to what I think the real issue was for me. I noticed that the "Remote Account" setting was set to some "Generic Account". Switching this to the correct remote account fixed this for me.

Not sure if it's a bug that defaults it incorrectly when pulling in the repo. Hope that helps.

Thanks, this fixed it for me too

Thanks for the hint. It worked for me

This change worked for me after closing sourcetree and reopening it.

I have the same question about the '!'.
