JIRA integration & other external project links
SourceTree 1.3 makes it easy to navigate to JIRA issues which are associated with your commits – and in fact to other supporting information like Crucible reviews or any predictable pattern in a commit message that you can identify. Linking a repository to a JIRA project If you’re committing code to resolve a JIRA issue, […]
Pull requests across branches
Bitbucket already supports fork-based pull requests, and while this model is great for open source projects – where new contributors can fork your repository and submit a pull request – it can feel heavy-handed when working in a small team. Small (and large) teams rejoice! Today we are excited to announce the ability to create pull requests between […]

A headline feature of SourceTree 1.3 is the support for submodules (in Git) and subrepositories (in Mercurial). The terms may be different, but they refer to the same concept; that of nesting other repositories within the folder structure of your own repository. The most common reason for wanting to do this is that your project […]
