Introduction to Bitbucket
Bitbucket is a version control solution developed by the Atlassian. It provides access restrictions to the source code and project workflows. The in-class Jira and Trello integrations of Bitbucket are used to bring the complete software team together to work on the Project.
Basic Things you will Study in this Tutorial:
•Advantages of BitBucket
•BitBucket Pipelines
•Steps Involved in BitBucket
•Various stages for making a Pull request
•BitBucket Markdown
Advantages of BitBucket
•It Provides the Unlimited private repositories.
•It provides financial support to private support.
•BitBucket always supports continuous integration.
•BitBucket will simply integrate with Jira and Trello.
•We can create an issue tracker in our Git repository.
BitBucket Pipelines
•Bitbucket pipelines is an incorporated CI/CD service. It permits us to develop, check, and additional deploy the code. Containers are created within the cloud to execute the commands. The clouds are organized based on our demand.
•To establish the pipeline, we can perform the operation and make the bitbucket-pipelines.yaml enter the basis directory of our repository. This file is versioned exploitation configuration as code, and it gets synchronous with our code.
•The Bitbucket-Pipelines.yaml contains the configuration of our repository. Yaml is that the file repository that is simple to scan, however, we should be careful while developing it. The necessary keywords utilized in the Bitbucket-pipeline.YAML file is as follows:
•Default: It includes the steps that require to be executed for each push.
•Script: Script contains a sequence of commands that require to be executed in order.
•Pipelines: It includes pipeline definitions.
•Step: Every step initiates a new Docker container.
Steps Involved in BitBucket
•To start the Version control system Project in Bitbucket, we need to create a project, and then it groups for several repositories. Log into BitBucket and click on create Project present in the Project tab.
•After creating the Project, click on the “+” symbol to create a repository.
•After creating a new repository, we have to follow the below instructions to clone the Git repository to a local machine.
•In the repository, click the clone button, and then BitBucket shows clone this repository dialog.
•Copy the clone command and then select the directory where you want to clone the repository.
•After that, we should create a branch. For creating a branch, we will click on the branches button, and we will see one branch called “Master” is active. Click on the Create branch present in the right side corner.
•Make some changes in the branch as per your requirement.
•After cloning the repository to the local machine, we will add the files to the repository.
BitBucket Terminology
Branch: The branch is a generalization for the operations like a stage, edit, commit process. It is considered as a new approach to request a new working directory.
Fork: Generally, a single server-side repository acts as a central repository, but fork provides a server-side repository to each developer. So, each developer will contribute a server-side repository.
Pipes: To perform strong operations, we put some code parts into our pipelines, and they are known as Bitbucket Pipes. Pipes are useful in building strong and automated workflows.
Bitbucket Pipelines: Bitbucket Pipelines is an incorporated CI/CD Service, made into Bitbucket. It enables you to develop, the test automatically, and further, it will deploy the code, according to the configuration file present in the repository.
Head: Head is used to refer to the current snapshot. The git will checkout the upgrades HEAD to refer to either commit or particular branch.
Master: Every time you create a repository, a default branch known Master is created, and automatically it becomes a working branch.
Pull request: Pull request is a feature provided by the Bitbucket, and developers use it for interaction purposes. Developers use this tool to address the proposed changes before incorporating them into the Project.
Working Tree: Working tree is defined as a tree of existing checkout files. Generally, it contains a HEAD Commit’s tree contents and changes you have done but not saved.
Project: A project is considered as a container for repositories. By arranging repositories into the projects, the Project makes it easy for the team to emphasize on product, goal, or process.
Pull Request
Once after delivering the software, There are some defects and changes are going to be instructed, and therefore the developer’s team has got to integrate them. once developers got to integrate the improvements, they must take feedback from stakeholders. So, developers can produce a bugfix branch to try to to the desired fixes and make a pull request to give notice to all the reviewers relating to bug fixes and raise them to review to integrate the changes.
Various stages for making a Pull request
•Stage 1: A defect is reported. currently, the developer can produce a bugfix branch for creating the desired changes for fixing the defect and pushes the modifications to the repository.
•Stage 2: currently the bugfix branch exists within the Bitbucket repository.
•Stage 3: Before changes integrated into the master repository, they must be reviewed by the stakeholders. For that purpose, the developer needs to produce a pull request.
•Stage 4: we are going to produce a pull request by clicking on the produce pull request button. In Pull request, Bugfix is chosen because of the source branch.
•Stage 5: currently the reviewers are allotted within the default reviewers list.
•Stage 6: Presently the reviewers log in to their account, and that they can review the submitted changes.
•Stage 7:If the changes were essential, then they will approve them.
•Stage 8: Presently the developer can log in because the user who created the pull request. They are going to integrate the approved changes to the master repository.
Fork Repository
In Bitbucket, the Fork repository could be a methodology to clone the whole repository for making a new copy to the repository. It is considered as an experiment to conduct testing without troubling the initial repository.
BitBucket Markdown
Every Project must keep some documentation to have data regarding releases or requirements or any other information about the Project.So, the project team needs to assure that the project documentation must have a standard format. BitBucket uses Markdown to format the documentation file referred to as Readme.md and “.md” is that the file extension.
