sync-bitbucket-branch

Merge A Source Branch Into A Target Branch

Uses Bitbucket's branch sync feature to merge one branch into another. If conflict happen the merge will not happen and the url of a Bitbucket compare will be returned which should show the conflicts.

Useful for automating some dev-ops scenarios where a demo/client/support/qc branch needs to be keep up to date with another branch, typically master.

Command Line Usage Example

npm install sync-bitbucket-branch
sync-bitbucket-branch [--dryrun] <repo> <source-branch> <target-branch> [<bitbucket-account-email>] [<bitbucket-account-password>]

• <repo> will have the form of ${user}/${repository}. Just look in the url of a Bitbucket repo: https://bitbucket.org/`${user}/${repository}`
• <bitbucket-account-email> is optional if BITBUCKET_ACCOUNT_EMAIL is set as an environment variable
• <bitbucket-account-password> is optional if BITBUCKET_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD is set as an environment variable

Code Example

const syncBitbucketBranch = require('sync-bitbucket-branch');

const repo = `mycompany/myrepository`;
const sourceBranch = 'master';
const targetBranch = 'qc';
const email = 'bitbucketUser';
const password = '';
const dryrun = false;

syncBitbucketBranch(repo, sourceBranch, targetBranch, email, password, dryrun).then((data) => {
	console.log('url of branch', data);
});
