SourceTree is unresponsive

After changing permissions of (a lot of) files on git, SourceTree detected these unstaged changes and became unresponsive when trying to refresh. I quit it when the unresponsiveness was taking too long. After restarting the program again, it did not launch.

I checked the activity monitor and SourceTree is labeled 'application not responding'. Used Force quit and restarted the Mac. SourceTree is still not responding. How to run SourceTree again?

Try to connect to your account again

Sourcetree -> Prefereneces -> Accounts -> Click your account -> Connect account

This works for me

Ok I solved this one by deleting the folder Library/Application Support/SourceTree. After that I can now open the program again and scan my directory of projects for import.

The unresponsiveness was due to the changed file permissions of my project repo. Before I can open this said repo I accessed the project files' .git/config and set the config.fileMode to false.
