bitbucket-pipelines.yml file accidental deletion?

Question

I was looking for the variable settings in our bitbucket-pipelines.yml file and some how it all went wrong and configuration disappeared. It appears I some how over wrote the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file in the master branch. The production configuration is gone. How do I do a revert or get the configuration back with the variables? Please help, I am having a heart attack over this.

Hi @Florian Lungu ,

Was the previous version of the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file committed in the repo?

Based on your description, I assume that the issue occurred while editing the file online? So, you didn't force push any changes?

Assuming that the previous version was already committed in the repo, and no one force pushed any changes that would make previous commits get lost, you should be able to find the previous version in the history of the file.

If you select the commit 036ddff right above the file in your screenshot, can you see a list with previous commits? Selecting one of the those commits should give you previously committed versions of the file.

Kind regards,
Theodora
