Not every file change in our repository requires running a pipeline. For changes to files, such as README, .gitignore, and CODEOWNERS, you may not want to run 30-minute browser tests or full deployment pipelines. To allow you to skip steps for low-impact file changes and eventually make your pipelines run faster, we are introducing a […]

AI to streamline software development workflows, from idea to operations

Introducing Runtime v3 – Multi-arch images and more control over Docker

Historically, when using the Pipelines Docker service, the step would automatically have the Docker CLI executable mounted into the build container. While this approach was initially convenient and helped onboard new customers, it limited flexibility in several areas. For example, customers couldn’t easily use the latest docker buildx features because the CLI version was pinned. […]

Use variables in any part of your Pipelines .yaml

In the past, variables in Bitbucket Pipelines were scoped to only operate within script sections of a Pipelines workflow. This limited their usefulness and restricted users from being able to fully parameterize their workflows. Today we are releasing an enhancement that will allow variables to be used within any section of a Pipelines .yaml file, […]

Enhancing security in Bitbucket: Introducing expiry for access tokens

As part of Atlassian’s ongoing investment in security, we’re introducing new controls to help administrators manage authentication tokens more effectively and securely. To reduce the risk of long-lived credentials becoming security vulnerabilities, all newly created access tokens in Bitbucket will require an expiry duration, as determined by the workplace admin. Why are we making this change? Previously, access […]
