Re: [OT] Atlassian SourceTree
Pretty decent unlimited Git repos, agile/scrum style boards with item/workitem tracking, queries, and many visualisations and stakeholder access, build and release CI/CD pipelines with integrations for almost anything on-premises or cloud-based, and built with your choice of either an intuitive GUI or ugly YAML, build and release tracking, package feeds (nom, nuget, and other styles) with upstream feeds, versioning, and/or repackaging, manual test tracking, out of the box AAD integration, a marketplace with a very wide range of offerings. And did I mention, free for teams of up to 5 users, and really low cost for bigger teams? Use whatever Git client you want but I find the ones in VS and VS Code adequate when combined with Git for Windows. Then it also directly integrates with other tools like ADF, etc. Regards Greg Dr Greg Low Director SQL Down Under Pty Ltd Office: 1300SQLSQL (1300775775) Mobile: +61419201410 About me: https://greglow.me From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com on behalf of Greg Keogh Sent: Friday, December 31, 2021 5:07:38 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Atlassian SourceTree Serious question: why not just do it all in Azure DevOps and avoid the complexity?

Confluence is just "acceptable", but you'd expect something fancier and slicker from the billionaire boys -- *GK* P.S. Time to go out and get some champagne.

Re: [OT] Atlassian SourceTree
The other day I had a half page of unhandled exception from Confluence. Apparently I should have realised it meant the password I entered didn't meet its complexity rules. I love to see a local company like Atlassian doing so well but whenever I use their software, I keep having "emperor's new clothes" moments.

Gitkraken is very nice, and I do like the console integration it has now. cheers, Stephen From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com on behalf of Greg Keogh Sent: Friday, 31 December 2021 6:39 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: [OT] Atlassian SourceTree The program SourceTree must be one of the most amateurish bug-riddled incomprehensible unpredictable prices of crap software ever produced by a large company. I wish I could invoice Atlassian for the man-days and suffering I have endured trying to keep the stupid thing working over the last decade. All of my Personal Access Tokens expired today, so I regenerated fresh ones everywhere, but I cannot update, reset or recreate the accounts in SourceTree to get them working again. After 2 hours of more futile suffering I have decided to abandon SourceTree forever and never see the steaming pile again. I have deleted every file and registry entry with the words "Atlassian" or "SourceTree" in them (it leaves it's smelly footprint everywhere). SourceTree is a fossil anyway because Visual Studio now does almost everything it used to do in a superior integrated way. However... SourceTree could hold a nice organised tree of all your local repos and you could browse over it and quickly for an overview. That feature I will miss, so I'm wondering if there is a replacement. I can't find a "repo organiser" in Visual Studio, but maybe I've missed it, or maybe there is a better app for that. Any suggestions? Greg K
