Sourcetree Installation - Atlassian Login Stuck

Learner picture Learner · Apr 7, 2016 · Viewed 18k times · Source

I am trying to install the SourceTree application on my system. At the step as shown in the image below, I tried logging in through an existing account or otherwise going to the My Atlassian account as well, but I couldn't proceed any further. Can someone please help me out over this? I am able to login but what next? Issue

Tested and working workaround. (Windows 7 x64)

  1. Run the installer for the latest version of SourceTree (For the moment 2.3.1.0), close it when you get the blank login window.

  2. Download the accounts.json file and change YOUR EMAIL HERE to your email.

  3. Create an empty passwd.txt file.

  4. Add these files into %LocalAppData%\Atlassian\SourceTree

  5. Rerun the installer. It should detect the account and password from those files and bypass the request for a login.
