Configuring a Source Control task
Source Control tasks is an umbrella term for all Repository tasks available in Bamboo. Source Control tasks allow you to quickly apply your changes to repositories. Source Control tasks work in deployment and build plans and they are fully configurable using Bamboo Specs.
Bamboo provides support for Source Control tasks in the following repositories:
- Bitbucket Cloud
- Bitbucket Data Center
Git
Git LFS is supported for Source Code Checkout, Repository Commit, and Repository Push tasks.
- Mercurial
Here is a list of Source Control tasks available in Bamboo:
Icon | Task | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Source Code Checkout | Task for checking out (cloning) a remote repository. You can read more about this task in Checking out code. |
 | Repository Commit | Available in Bamboo 6.7.1 and later. Task capable of committing and pushing changes to a remote repository. This task will take all modified files in repository directory, commit them with a given message, and then push them to the remote location. In Bamboo 6.7.1 changes made through Repository Commit tasks were recorded by Bamboo and they triggered a plan. |
| Repository Push | Available in Bamboo 6.7.1 and later. Task capable of pushing commits to a remote repository. To be used in place of the VCS Commit task if the commits were already created and only the 'push' part is needed. The concept of push only exists in DVCS repositories. Here are some use examples of the Repository Push task:
In Bamboo 6.7.1 changes made through Repository Push tasks were recorded by Bamboo and they triggered a plan. |
| Repository Branch (previously known as: VCS Branching) | Task capable of creating a branch and pushing it to a remote repository. This task will create a new branch with specified name from the latest commit in the checkout directory. For Mercurial, it will create a new commit "Creating branch...". Cannot be used with the Git implementation embedded in Bamboo. (You need to have set up native Git). |
| Repository Tag (previously known as: VCS Tagging) | Task capable of creating a tag and pushing it to a remote repository. This task will create a new tag with specified name for the latest commit in the checkout directory. For Mercurial, it will create a new commit "Adding tag...". Cannot be used with the Git implementation embedded in Bamboo. (You need to have set up native Git). |
