TortoiseGit skipping rebase (wrong preference)

After latest update of TortoiseGit, there is added preference to automatically skip rebasing/fast-forwarding when there is nothing to rebase. I accidentally chose this option in dialog but TortoiseGit enabled it permanently and I can't change it back.

Do you know of any way how to reset this preference? Do you know how to reset all TortoiseGit preferences or where they are stored? (Uninstall didn't help.)

Thank you!

Solution

  • I had the same problem and I think I have discovered where the settings are saved.
    You should open regedit and go to:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseGit

    There you will find a DWORD setting: 

    OpenRebaseRemoteBranchUnchanged

    And there is also a similar one which mentiones fast forward. You can delete both of them and the prompt window will reappear again.
