I really don't care much about using git gui clients, but I think they're useful when you need to visualize local network graphs.
That's the only reason I installed it in my work machine. And it messed up and erased my global user (name and e-mail) config. Uninstalled it and installed it again to see if it was something I did wrong and it was not: I was forced to rebase my commits and lost time doing it.
So, my question is: why does it need to erase a previously just fine git installation? Or is it a bug?
Hi Matheus, did you have the option 'Allow SourceTree to modify your global Git and Mercurial config files' checked? You can find it by opening SourceTree and clicking on Cog icon > Accounts > General.
Let me know if this was your case!
Cheers,
Ana
Brian answered me on twitter weeks ago. It was happening despite this option unchecked, in my case.

I'm glad you got a response, Matheus :) I've talked to Brian and he told me that issue has already been addressed in 2.5.1 (public Alpha). If you'd like, you can download it from https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/sourcetree-betas/downloads/.
Best regards,
Ana
