Issue: Octotree says the branch was deleted or access is denied
First, check you have either authenticated with GitHub or supplied a personal access token. Check this guide to learn how.
If you're authenticated with GitHub and the issue persists, the repository probably belongs to an org that Octotree doesn't have access to. Go to this page to grant permission.
Issue: Octotree sidebar doesn't stay in the pinned position
It's possible that you have multiple versions of Octotree running or the extension storage is messed up. To fix this:
Uninstall all versions of Octotree and Octotree Pro from your browser (for Chrome, go to chrome://extensions and search for all occurrences of "Octotree"). Even if you only find one version of Octotree, go ahead uninstalling it.
Octotree Pro is deprecated and its functionality is merged into Octotree. Go here to download and install Octotree, then login to your account. You must have an active Pro subscription to access Pro features.
Issue: I'm a Pro subscriber but Octotree shows trial expires
Perform these steps in the extension:
If you had linked GitHub with Octotree, go to Octotree's settings screen and unlink GitHub
Logout of Octotree
Login with your Octotree email and password (not via GitHub OAuth)
Go to settings screen to link with GitHub OAuth if needed
Issue: Dark theme doesn't work with GitHub Enterprise
Perform these steps in the extension
Navigate to a repository in your GHE
Open the Octotree settings
Find the "GHE" textbox and enter the version of your GHE
Click "Apply Settings"
Reload the page
If it still doesn't work, please send an email to support@octotree.io with the following information:
Your GHE version
Screenshot of one incorrectly styled element
The applied styles of that element (inspect the element in Chrome dev tool then open the Styles tab, take screenshot of that)
Issue: I cannot enable GitHub Enterprise in Safari
Octotree doesn't support GitHub Enterprise in Safari yet. We hope this will change when Safari 14+ fully supports Web Extensions.
