Azure DevOps - commit to Bitbucket repository updated file on release pipeline? - npm

Question

I have an npm source code that needs to be built and push to npmjs repository. In details it looks like:
Build pipeline:
1) Get sources from Bitbucket repository
2) Get from package.json version number (ex. 0.0.3), increase it by 0.0.1 (0.0.4) and add this value to build variables $(version)
3) Make NPM install and build.
4) Take package-0.0.4.tgz and package.json to the artifacts folder and publish it.
Release pipeline:
1) Download artifacts
2) Extract package-0.0.4.tgz to npm-publish folder
3) Copy package.json to npm-publish folder
4) Publish npm folder to npmjs repository.
My question - is it possible to commit to Bitbucket repository updated package.json file with new version after publishing to npmjs repository?

Answer 1

It is possible to commit to Bitbucket repository. You only need to add a script task to execute the git commands.
For below example. I add a powershell task to run below commands in the pipeline to commit changes and push to the Bitbucket repo.
- powershell: |
git config --global user.email "you#example.com"
git config --global user.name "user.name"
#echo "some-text" > filename.txt
git add .
git commit -m "update package version"
git push https://username:password#bitbucket.org/name/repo.git HEAD:master -q
#if your password or username contain # replace it with %40
displayName: 'push to bitbucket'
