Bitbucket Push Helper Script

This is a small script to create Bitbucket pull request with team specific defaults.

Installation

Quick

To make this easier to use, I've pre-compiled the script for Mac. So, to get this working all you likely need to do is:

• Clone this repo
• Create a config in conf/ that looks like exampleConfig.json, or modify that. Or maybe check your team's slack channel for a pre-made one!
• You're ready to use the script, passing in your config file location with -c! Still, I suggest you set up an alias so that you can easily reference this. For example, if you cloned this to your home directory, you could add the following to your ~/.bash_profile (or similar): alias pushbb="~/bitbucket-push-helper/app/PushHelper -c ~/bitbucket-push-helper/conf/myTeam.json" While you're there, set your OKTA_USERNAME and OKTA_PASSWORD:

export OKTA_USERNAME="[email protected]"
export OKTA_PASSWORD="my_password"

From source

To build from source:

• install stack: curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
• go to project root, run stack build and then, once that's done, stack ghc -- -O2 -threaded app/PushHelper.hs.

Usage

Once you've done your work -and committed it locally-, just use this script pushbb in replacement of git push -u origin blah.

Note that the script makes the title of the PR the first line of your latest commit, so make sure your last commit is the one that starts with your ticket information, like ANALYTICS-1111: Fix the bug in the thing.

Motivation

I got tired of the repetitive actions necessary whenever I wanted to push a local change to bitbucket and add my team members. My usual workflow was (once I've committed changes locally):

1. git branch to see what my local branch name was, i.e. feature/christian-change-1
2. copy that branch name
3. type in git push -u origin then paste the branch name to run the full thing
4. copy the location of the remote branch that bitbucket returns when you push
5. go to my browser, paste that location, click Create pull request
6. use a sheet of paper on my desk to remember to add ~8-10 people I add to every review, click create

This script basically does 1-3 as you would do it on the command line, and does 4-6 via bitbucket's REST api.
