It seems this is the only documentation regarding shared pipelines:
- https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/share-pipelines-configurations/
- https://confluence.atlassian.com/bbkb/how-to-set-up-a-shared-bitbucket-pipeline-for-the-main-branch-1295385940.html
And they are basically the same.
Browsing the community questions I am slowly coming to a conclusion that the documentation is scarce because these articles basically cover everything the shared pipelines can do, which is very limited indeed.
- no way to reference anchors from imported pipeline
- no way to mix and match (merge) stages/steps from imported pipeline with your local pipeline segments
- no way to parameterize exporting pipeline
- no way to add scripts (or any other dependencies) to the exporting pipeline so they are available for importing repos
Most of the questions regarding shared pipelines have dynamic pipelines offered as a solution.
Is there a future for shared pipelines or is this the final form and all the improvements and new features to be released for dynamic pipelines? In other words is it worth bothering with shared pipelines?
