How to integrate sourcetree for gitlab

Question

I worked on github and integrated it to sourcetree (MAC version) for one of my project. I would like to use sourcetree for GITLAB. But I am not able to add remote of gitlab to source tree. In Repository settings, Only I can see host type as "unknown", "bitbucket", "github" & "stash". I used unknown but it won't help me.

Sourcetree Version 2.0.4 (2.0.4)

Answer 1

This worked for me,

Step 1: Click on + New Repository> Clone from URL

Step 2: In Source URL provide URL followed by your user name,

Example:

• GitLab Repo URL : http://git.zaid-labs.info/zaid/iosapp.git
• GitLab User Name : zaid.pathan

So final URL should be http://[email protected]/zaid/iosapp.git

Note: zaid.pathan@ added before git.

Step 3: Enjoy cloning :).

Answer 2

If you have the generated SSH key for your project from GitLab you can add it to your keychain in OS X via terminal.

ssh-add -K <ssh_generated_key_file.txt>

Once executed you will be asked for the passphrase that you entered when creating the SSH key.

Once the SSH key is in the keychain you can paste the URL from GitLab into Sourcetree like you normally would to clone the project.
