Prompt Title: Bitbucket Cloud Automerge

Auto-merging in the upstream branch is not a built-in feature of Bitbucket Cloud. However, you can achieve a similar result using Bitbucket Pipelines and a custom script to automatically merge the changes.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up auto-merging for an upstream branch using Bitbucket Pipelines:

1. Enable Bitbucket Pipelines:

   If you haven't enabled Bitbucket Pipelines for your repository, you can do so by going to the "Pipelines" tab in your repository settings and enabling it.

2. Create a bitbucket-pipelines.yml file:

   In the root directory of your repository, create a file named bitbucket-pipelines.yml. This file will contain the pipeline configuration for auto-merging.

3. Configure the pipeline for auto-merging:

   In the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file, you can create a pipeline that runs when changes are pushed to a specific branch (e.g., develop). The pipeline should execute a script that merges the changes into the upstream branch (e.g., main).

   Here's a sample configuration for auto-merging from the develop branch to the main branch:

   yamlCopy code
   image: atlassian/default-image:2
   
   pipelines:
     branches:
       develop:
         - step:
             name: Auto-merge develop to main
             script:
               - apt-get update
               - apt-get install -y git
               - git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
               - git config --global user.name "Your Name"
               - git checkout main
               - git merge --no-edit --no-ff develop
               - git push origin main
   

   Replace [email protected] and Your Name with your email and name, respectively. This information will be used for the commit when merging changes.

4. Commit and push the changes:

   Commit the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file and push it to your repository. Now, whenever you push changes to the develop branch, the pipeline will run and automatically merge those changes into the main branch.

Remember that auto-merging might not always be suitable, especially when dealing with conflicts. If a merge conflict occurs, the pipeline will fail, and you'll need to resolve the conflicts manually.
