Banch automatically merge with main branch

Question

Hi All,

I tried to implement Bit-Bucket Pipelines for CI and CD, while I was testing on creating a branch, I found the branch automatically merge with the main branch.

How to disable auto- merging  and make the branch active, so that my team will push the code to same branch for whole sprint.

If you were looking in the UI, then the branches will appear to be merged if there are no commit differences between them. Once you start making new commits to your branch you should see that they are in fact not merged.

As Ana mentioned, we currently do not have an auto-merge feature. So, you shouldn't need to worry about your branches being merged once you have some commit differences between them.

Hi Ravi! Auto merge is not available for Bitbucket Cloud, so it probably has to do with your Pipelines configuration. (If you'd like the Auto-merge feature to be available on Bitbucket Cloud, you can add your vote at Automatic branch merging for Bitbucket Cloud).

For more info regarding Pipelines and branches, I'd recommend you reading Running feature branches and Branch workflows.

We have another feature request that might interest you, you can share your use case and leave your vote at Auto-merge when pipeline passes.

Lastly, this other thread can also be of help Possibility to merge one branch to another with Bitbucket Pipelines.

Cheers,
