Then the account setup is done and you can see it in Sourcetree > Preferences > Accounts. When you do the initial setup of Sourcetree, you enter your GitHub account, a browser window opens automatically, you are logged into your GitHub account and grant access for Sourcetree. A local installation of Sourcetree – version 4.0.2 (236), with embedded Git, version 2.27.0.A Macbook machine (probably not any different on Windows, I will tell you next month when I go through the same steps on my new laptop).I will focus on using a Private one in this blog post. As a general, you would not have much trouble with the public ones. A GitHub account with some Public repositories and some Private repositories.
