Introducing merge queues for Bitbucket Cloud [open beta]

[#1]

Hi Bitbucket Community!

We're excited to announce merge queues for Bitbucket! Here's all about it from engineering manager Rajkumar Singh:

High‑traffic repos and large monorepos often suffer from “green” pull requests that still break main, endless rebases, and developers babysitting merges instead of shipping features.

Bitbucket merge queues, now in open beta for Standard and Premium Bitbucket Cloud customers, automatically sequence and validate PRs so only changes that pass checks against the latest target branch are merged. This keeps your target branch healthy while helping teams ship faster with fewer broken builds and rollbacks.

Read the full announcement and setup guide here: Introducing merge queues for Bitbucket Cloud (open beta)

Getting started

The workspace must be on a Standard or Premium plan with Pipelines enabled.

1. Open the Merge queues tab in your Repository settings → Workflow section.

2. Configure a merge queue for a specific target branch along with a new merge queue pipeline configuration in bitbucket-pipelines.yml

   1. All your pull requests targeting the specific target branch will now go through merge queue.

Want to learn more about Merge Queues and how to configure them? Go through our documentation.

Hi @Dan Hom

Is there API support for this yet? Checked the docs but couldn't find anything mentioning it.

Thanks!
