Send Notifications when pushing a commit that modifies files inside a specific folder
Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
Restrict users from committing to a specific folder or editing a file
Solution
On Bitbucket Cloud, we can apply restrictions to users only for specific branches using "Branch Restrictions" and not for folders/file.
Source: [https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-branch-permissions/]
As a workaround, users can create a pre-commit file and add hooks to abort such commits
Reference: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58521962/git-hook-to-block-changes-on-certain-folders]
Steps to be followed
Create a directory called ".gitHooks"
In this directory, put your hooks "Pre-commit" file with this name which is basically the shell script.
Access the repo directory and run this command
1git config core.hooksPath <path_to_.gitHooks>Now if a user try to commit to a file(example:salesforce.sh), they will get following message "xxxxxxxxxxx WARNING DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO THE FILE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
In order to implement this across the team, repository members need to clone this repo OR pull the changes which consist of ".githooks" folder and then run the git config command as above
Example:
1
2
3
% git add salesforce.sh
% git commit -m "salesforce.sh"
xxxxxxxxxxx WARNING DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO THE FILE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPre-commit hook-script

#!/bin/bash
git diff --cached --diff-filter=AM | grep -q salesforce.sh
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo xxxxxxxxxxx WARNING DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO THE FILE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
exit 1
fiIf you're getting the following warning instead of the above message, please provide permission to the file and then try to commit again

hint: The '.gitHooks/pre-commit' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable.
hint: You can disable this warning with `git config advice.ignoredHook false`.1
chmod +x .gitHooks/Pre-commit Was this helpful?
