Sourcetree For Mac



Although SourceTree for macOS has updated the name of Azure DevOps (from 'Visual Studio Team Services'), it appears that it does not support the new Azure DevOps URLs. You can use the old-format (VSTS-style) URLs. A free Git client for Windows and Mac. Sourcetree simplifies how you interact with your Git repositories so you can focus on coding. Visualize and manage your repositories through Sourcetree's simple Git GUI.

Sourcetree For Mac

I used to use Diffmerge for my merge/comparison needs, however I find the outdated interface to be unfriendly and ugly to look at.

On Windows I use Sourcetree and Beyond Compare works without integration, it shows up in the appropriate dropdowns but on Mac it does not. I don’t understand why Sourcetree on Mac is different to Windows, but anyway.

Fortunately, Sourcetree makes it easy to use third party comparison tools even if they are not in the dropdowns.

Download

Firstly, we need to install Beyond Compare “Command Line Tools” which allows us to call Beyond Compare.

Go into the Beyond Compare menu and choose Install Command Line Tools.

Sourcetree download

Secondly we need to configure Sourcetree to use the command line for Beyond Compare:

Sourcetree For Bitbucket

Windows

Sourcetree For Mac 10.13.6

In Preferences and then the “Diff” tab, at the bottom there is a section which allows you to specify the compare tool.
