When you initialise GitFlow is there a way to commit the changes?

[Peter Row]

Hands up - I'm a double noob - new to Git and SourceTree.

We are migrating from SVN to Git and we've chosen SourceTree as the primary UI tool and plan to use GitFlow for a branching process.

After a lot of attempts I've got the test migration sorted so switched my attention more to SourceTree. When you click the "Git Flow" button in the toolbar the options to fill out (or accept defaults) is straightforward and fits perfectly with the articles I've read about the Git Flow process. When confirming the configuration it fails to initiate if there are any unstaged and/or uncommitted files.

My question is: once initiated successfully is there a way to put the change to the git config file back in the central repo? I don't want every person on the team to have to set this up. But SourceTree says there are no outstanding files to commit
