Using Bitbucket for Push-to-Deploy

Wednesday, September 17, 2014

Push-To-Deploy with GitHub repositoriesBitbucketLog to Source linkingAtlassianConnecting the repository

Go to the Google Developers Console and create a project or click on an existing project that you wish to sync with Bitbucket.

Click Source Code and then Browse in the left-hand navigation panel.

The next step is to link your project’s repository to Bitbucket.

If your project does not have git repo or has an empty git repo, you will come directly to the “Source Repository Settings” page. Click “Connect” below the Bitbucket logo.

If your project has a non empty git repo, you will see a screen listing the content of the current repo. You can change repo setting to connect with a Bitbucket repo (note that this will override the current content of the Project’s repo). Click the Settings icon to get to the “Source Repository Settings” page shown above and then click “Connect” below the Bitbucket logo.

You will be redirected to Bitbucket to authenticate and grant access to your Bitbucket repositories. Click “Grant access”. You may be prompted to log into your Bitbucket account.

Once you have granted access, you will see a list of all Bitbucket Git repositories that you have access to. Choose the repository that you want to connect this project to.

Read and accept the consent option in the dialog box and click Connect.

The Bitbucket repository now appears on the Repo Settings page

You can setup your release pipeline following these instructions

Once your release pipeline is setup, every time you push to your project’s master branch on Bitbucket using git push origin master the source code will be deployed to App Engine. The Release page also shows you the status of the current and past deployments.
