Will auto merge work if I use a custom Branch name prefix instead of default one - release/

[retheeshmr-bb]

I would be using branch names like TDW_1.1, TDW_1.2 etc.. and not like release/1.0.

Will auto merge work for my branch names?

Hi Retheesh! Bitbucket determines what is merging to what based on the ordering algorithm, and we use Semantic Versioning to determine branch names. For more info I recommend you to read Semantic Versioning.

That said, the names you're using seem similar to one of the examples in our documentation, so if all the other criteria are met, it should work.

Please follow the guidelines in the documentation Automatic branch merging to set the right names for your branches. Let us know if you have any questions, and we'll continue helping you.

Best regards!

In your example you are specifying the release branch which are always as per default naming conventions - release/. I tried using the my custom names but didnt work. When I create branches with custom name I will have to select branch type custom.

Does auto merge works for custom branch types?
