There is a "Refresh Avatars" option in the bookmarks window. I assume that would pull avatars from somewhere, like perhaps GitLab (which has project avatars). How exactly does Sourcetree determine those avatars, and can I customize them?
Hi Garrett,
They are pulled from a remote service if it supports them. In the case of GitLab, we are looking for the "avatar_url" that's returned. If an icon isn't found in the cache, and doesn't return from the server, Sourcetree then looks for an in-repo icon that matches the following:
Hope that helps.

Has this feature been abandoned or does it work only in mac os? I'm placing a logo.png icon in the root folder of a repo (haven't committed it though) and sourcetree doesn't employ it as an avatar. What gives?

It's not currently supported by Windows but we do have it on the list.

Hi @bgannin
My profile image from GitLab shows up correctly in the Preferences | Accounts list, but anywhere else in Sourcetree a generic geometric shape is displayed.
Any idea why?

Hi @Bahman Engheta,
Commit icons are driven by Gravatar, not hosting service account avatars. Having this as a fallback when that's unavailable for any reason is a great request to file in our public trackers (Mac, Windows) for us to get it on the roadmap. Thanks for the feedback.

What size of this logo image should be?
The two repositories I happened to see this feature on had a 128 × 128 PNG in their root folder. One was `Icon.png`; the other `icon.png`.
