Repository Configuration

Follow these guidelines to configure the repository for your project correctly to prepare it for InnerSource.

  • Code should be in a clearly named repository in an appropriate project.

  • The repository should have Write permissions enabled as without this Pull Requests cannot be created. You can configure permissions from the Repository Permissions screen.

  • The description of the repository should include what the project is about and the contact details for the Trusted Committer(s). The description can be set from the repository settings screen.

  • The main branch and, if applicable, the develop branch MUST be protected so code cannot be committed without a Pull Request. You can configure this from the Branch Permissions settings screen.

  • The repository should have the trimble-innersource label against it. Labels can be added at the bottom of the home screen for a BitBucket repository.

  • A default reviewer can also be configured for convenience. Default reviewers should always include the Trusted Committer.

  • Reviewers should always be asked to approve a Pull Request before being able to merge to develop or main. This can be configured from the auto-unapprove configuration screen.

Active Pull Requests against a project can be managed in BitBucket from the dashboard by clicking on the icon icon on the left-hand side.
