Add comment to commit from message?

[Wayne Bradbury]

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to add a comment to a commit in Bitbucket directly from the commit message. Or some other way to add comments to a Bitbucket commit without having to go and do it manually from on the actual commit page.

I know about Smart Commits, but that only seems to allow me to add comments to JIRA issues, not to Bitbucket commits.

Hello @Wayne Bradbury,

Regarding creating a comment with the commit message, I don't think anything like you described is available.

Does REST API endpoint count as a way to create a comment without having to go and do it manually from on the actual commit page?

Cheers,

I guess that does technically satisfy my ask.

Is there a way I can trigger a script on a commit or something?

Well, you need something to trigger it when a commit is pushed, otherwise Bitbucket won't know about its existence and REST API call would fail.

Unfortunately, there's nothing like git post-push hook on the client side, so there're two options I can think of:

• set up something on the client side that would make a push and then a REST call – essentially something like a hypothetical post-push hook would do
• set up a webhook in Bitbucket and something that would listen to it and make required REST call (this can be a Connect App)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Daniil
