These will be split to 5 usergroups

  • Administrators (admin access) - all projects
  • Developers - write access to all branches except master and develop, this project only
  • Leads - write access to all branches, this project only
  • Support - read only access - all projects
  • Agents - read only access (jenkins etc)

Bitbucket project creation

  • create project - PRJ
  • create empty repository PRJ in this project
  • create user groups:
  • PRJ-developers
  • PRJ-leads
  • assign the access to repo

Assign the branch privileges (master: leads only write, develop: write leads only, developers via PR)

Repository transfer

The steps for actually moving the code - that work without loosing anything

clean clone the repository (standard way)

git clone prj@pensieve.thinkwrap.com:prj.git prj-normal

Missing is local master branch and local reference HEAD pointing to master - this makes no sense for bare repository
