BitBucket workflow query

Harry Cameron

I'm looking at using BitBucket for my organisation and I have a query about the workflow, I was thinking of a system where a dev can create a branch called "fix-<issue number>" and when they commit their changes the branch is automatically merged with the master branch and the changes are pushed to the live server.

If they create a branch called "feature-<issue number>" when they commit their changes a pull request is opened and the changes are pushed to a test server, once the pull request is closed the changes are pushed to the live server.

Would this be possible, if so how would I go about implementing it?

Hi Harry, welcome to the Community!

Automated branch merging is not available in Bitbucket Cloud, but we already have a Feature request for that at Automatic branch merging for Bitbucket Cloud.

However, for the second part of your plan, you could try using webhooks. Webhooks will allow you to make requests to your server whenever certain events occur in Bitbucket Cloud, you can read more about them at Manage webhooks.

If you're looking for a CI/CD solution you can also have a look at Bitbucket Pipelines. For more info, I'd recommend you also read Get started with Bitbucket Pipelines and Build, test and deploy with Pipelines.

Hope that helps!
