To close a branch:īitbucket displays a confirmation dialog.īitbucket closes the branch, and it no longer appears in your remote repository. In this guide we are going to cover 3 commands - branch, checkout and merge. You would close an unmerged branch, if for example, the branch represented some experimental testing that failed for which you no longer needed the work. The branch also no longer appears under the Source list of Branches. When you close or delete a branch, you lose all the unmerged changes on that branch. When you view the new feature branch, you'll find it is no longer "behind" the tip. Use the git checkout or git switch command. Switch to the branch you want the master branch to merge into. Push the merged branch back to Bitbucket. Open a Git bash window or terminal in Linux and navigate to the directory with your Git repository. These are the minimum commands you would need to run on your local machine you may need to do more to merge your files. To view the conflicts, click the Diff tab. Where it detects any conflicts, it asks you to manually resolve these conflicts locally. Bitbucket tells you that there are conflicts. You sync a branch, for example, to catch your branch up to all the latest changes on the mainline.īitbucket tries to automatically merge for you but only performs primitive merges. If a feature branch is behind the current branch, you can sync (merge) the branch with the mainline. Change the comparison fields if you like.Ī three-dot diff is a comparison between the commit where the feature branch was last synched with the destination branch and the most recent version of the feature branch.Ī two-dot diff is the direct comparison of two committish references such as SHAs. Select the branch you want to compare to the main branch. Select Compare tags or branches from the dropdown menu. Select the More options ( ) button in the upper-right corner of the repository. You can always create a branch in an existing repository so you can get more familiar with comparing branches. Navigate to a repository with multiple branches. This function allows you to see individual files and the changes within those files.

You can use the Compare function to see differences between code lines. You can also see that there was another branch fix-issue-1 which was recently merged into the main branch making the new-feature branch one commit behind.Ĭompare a feature branch to the main line In the preceding figure you can see the new-feature branch listed. The displays includes information about the branch in tags next to the date. Select the Commits context from the navigation bar.
