How to Automate Tag Creation on Bitbucket?

Question

I want to create a Tag corresponding to a successful build of a given branch  (say develop or release).

That is whenever there's a success of build on newly pushed/merged code, I want to kickoff a Script or something like that which can create a Tag for current state of that branch.

Couldn't find anything even related on community so directly asking here.

You can just add a sheel script and execute it from the build.

The script will have "git tag .." and "git push .." commands to create a tag and push it to the remote. Make sure you are in the correct repo before you tag it.

And it would be good if I could skip Jenkins from the way and Just use Bit Bucket Merge Checks, Event Handlers or Script Post Hooks etc.

Hi Jobin, We're using Jenkins for CI & CD. But I couldn't find any way to create tags and push to Bitbucket using the git commands.

Yes, I have SSH keys added on the machines where the build is running and are given the write permissions in Bitbucket.

A reference could be a help.

Thank you for replying.
