Can I set rules for commit message length on BitBucket Cloud?

Question

Hi, I researched set rules for commit message length. Let me explain,  commit message will approve minimum 32 characters. If commit message length is less than 32 characters, Bitbucket Cloud doesn't approve the commit message. Are there any ways to do this on BitBucket Cloud?

The solution has just shipped in the form of Better Commit Policy for Jira Cloud, together with its free Bitbucket integration, Better Commit Policy Connector for Bitbucket Cloud!

You can define commit message rules using simple YAML configuration files, including rules like:

Minimum and maximum commit message length

Specific patterns or required contents (e.g. Jira work item keys)

Validation for pull request title, description, authorship, and more

Once configured, the Bitbucket Cloud connector enforces these policies through a merge check. If a commit message is too short (like under 32 characters), the pull request fails the check and can’t be merged until it's fixed.

This ensures that all code merged into your main branches meets your team’s standards.

Hi Ana,

-Are you trying to set restrictions on the commit messages your partners can commit to your repositories?

Exactly, every team member has to follow the commit message length rule. Can I put restrictions on the commit messages on "BitBucket Cloud". The commit message length must be more than 32 characters.
