Where did my staging window go?

[aormsby]

I recently updated to 1.2.3 on Windows, and I odn't have a staging window anymore. All I see is one tall panel in the middle that shows my project files and their current state. How do I get my split staging windows back?

@Jeff Yes, I suppose an image would be helpful.... Here you go! So I'm seeing the pane in the center there, but I don't have a staging window.

@timothy Unforunately, I don't have a separator there. None of the staging controls in your image appear for me, either.

Tools > Options > Git > Tick "Use the staging area"

You're welcome. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, I missed that setting a couple times.

It always amazes me that the simplest solutions are the ones that are easiest to miss.

Thanks, Jeff!

Have you tried to drag the separator?

The latest version of SourceTree removed the static staging area!

I miss it so much! I sometimes have lots of changed files but only want to commit a few of them, shift clicking then dragging is much faster than ticking boxes! :(

Is this a Mercurial repository? I was able to recreate the view you're seeing if I open a Mecurial repository. I see your .gitignore, but it looks like Sourcetree detected this as Mecurial.

Merurial doesn't have staging like Git.

Adam: Could you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing? That might help to figure out what's going on.
