Master is gone during push and pull requests

[pucicu]

Since a few weeks, in several of the git repos the default master (or main if this is the master) at the remote server is not available and visible by default anymore (in sourcetree). I always need to first "update branch" during pull or push (and even this is not working always). Only then the master is visible, but still needs to be selected manually. Unfortunately, this then forgotten after the next commit and I need to update and select it manually again.

In the past, these branches were always available. There are some repos which are not affected.

Doing git pull or git push at the commandline works fine.

I also tried to remove the repos and pulled it new (in Sourcetree), but did not help.

Any ideas how can I back the expected behaviour?

Thanks!
Norbert

Hi @pucicu 

• Anyone else experiencing the same problem if you are in a team?
• Did you try from different browser? 
• Any changes on your computer that could have triggered this behavior?

By answering these questions it can help us in the troubleshooting steps.

Best,

Hi Fadoua,

thanks for your reply!

1. Others in my team use different tools for working with git.
2. I do not understand your question with the browser. Sourcetree is a standalone app.
3. Of course there were changes like updates of the OS. But I cannot reproduce if this was a reason for the problems. If I would be able to find the reason, I would have been able to solve the problem. But I have no idea what could be the reason.

I wonder whether I can reset everythin in sourcetree, but except the registered git folders that I have in the Sourcetree's main menu. I would not have time to include all of them again.

Best,
Norbert
