BITBUCKET_COMMIT variable - short (7digits) in pipelines

dev-mp

I would like to use 'BITBUCKET_COMMIT' variable in pipelines to create unique file name. The problem is, that 40-digits SHA is not convinient to use in file names.

 

Is it possible to use 7-digits SHA environment variables? Or any way to process it in YAML?

Hi Milosz,

You can truncate the BITBUCKET_COMMIT variable inside of your pipeline script.

For example:

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - export BITBUCKET_COMMIT_SHORT=$(echo $BITBUCKET_COMMIT | cut -c1-7)
          - ...

You can see other examples of how to do this here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8928224/trying-to-retrieve-first-5-characters-from-string-in-bash-error

Thanks,

Phil
