Can I write a script command on multiple lines with Bitbucket Pipelines?

[Sten Pittet]

I have a long command and I'd like to break it down across multiple lines. Can I do that in my bitbucket-pipelines.yml configuration?

Yes you can, by using block scalar styles with the folded style.

The example below shows you how to write a script command across multiple lines.

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:  # The command below is broken down in multiple lines
          - >
            ls -lh
            && pwd
