Commit message

[joncanning]

I'd like to access the commit message in a pipeline so I can use it to make decisions within a script. Is this possible?

Hi @joncanning,

Yes, you would need to use git log with the right commit given by the BITBUCKET_COMMIT variable.

The command would something like:

 git log --format=%B -n 1 $BITBUCKET_COMMIT

Example of a pipeline that creates a variable with the commit message:

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - COMMIT_MESSAGE=`git log --format=%B -n 1 $BITBUCKET_COMMIT`
          - echo $COMMIT_MESSAGE

I hope that helps.

It's workaround - bitbucket CI should predefine the commit message in one of the variables every CI. (like other ci's do, github/gitlab)
