How to store Mainframe artifacts (such as JCL, Procedures, Configuration Files) in Bitbucket? What are the pieces that we need to put into place to be able to use BitBucket for all our source code version needs?

Hi Raul and welcome to the community!

Are these artifacts source code that you need to version? Or files generated during a build process (that are typically not versioned)?

Source code that needs to be versioned can be uploaded to a Bitbucket repository. Bitbucket uses Git as a version control system. If you are not familiar with Git, you can check the following tutorial on what Git is, how to set up a Bitbucket repository, save changes, push your changes to Bitbucket, etc:

• https://www.atlassian.com/git

For artifacts generated during a build process, every Bitbucket repository has a Downloads section (on the left sidebar) where you can upload files. Please keep in mind that this is not a package registry. You can upload files either manually (there is a link Add files) or by using our API:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-downloads/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-downloads-post

We have a limit of 1 GB per uploaded file for files uploaded to the Downloads section.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
