No default branch is generated when creating a repository in Bitbucket Cloud

Summary

When creating new repositories in Bitbucket Cloud, the default branch is not being created.

Cause

The problem arises when a branch restriction is set at the project level, prohibiting any user from having write access.

For instance, if there's a branch restriction for the develop branch and the default branch to be created is also develop, then the user attempting to create a repository must have write permission in the project's branch restrictions.

Solution

• Navigate to Project Settings => Branch Restrictions.

• Check for any branch restrictions on the default branch to be created.

  • If a branch restriction exists, ensure that the user attempting to create a repository has write access.

•
