How to Use Git Pipeline with Bitbucket & Gitlab

What is Git Pipeline and How to Use it With Bitbucket and Gitlab

Git Pipeline provides an extensible set of tools for modeling build, testing and deploying code. All jobs in a stage are executed simultaneously and, if it succeeds, the pipeline moves on to the next stage. If one of the jobs fails, as a rule, the next stage is not executed.

Stages

There are following pipeline job steps in Magento 2.2 projects:

1. Build – compilation and packaging of the project.
2. Testing – automated testing with default data.
3. Staging – manual testing and decision on going live.
4. Production – manual.

How is it used with Bitbucket and Gitlab

Typically, the definition of a Git Pipeline is written into a text file which is checked into a project’s source control repository.

Bitbucket:
bitbucket-pipelines.yml
Gitlab:
.gitlab-ci.yml

Limitations of Gitlab Pipelines

You are limited to use only the CI predefined variables in the environment: name. If you try to re-use variables defined inside script as part of the environment name, it will not work.
