Bitbucket Commit Not Being Recognized in Pull Request

A common issue in Bitbucket is when commits that were made in a feature branch are not recognized in the pull request (PR), even after the branch has been pushed.

This could happen for a variety of reasons.

The first thing to check is that you have correctly pushed the commit to the remote repository using git push origin branch_name.

If the commit isn't appearing in the pull request, it's possible that there is a merge conflict or Git is unable to fast-forward the merge.

Try pulling the latest changes from the target branch into your feature branch with git pull origin target_branch.

This will ensure your branch is up to date with the target branch before pushing your changes.

Another possibility is that the commits are being pushed to the wrong remote repository or branch.

Double-check your remote configuration with git remote -v to confirm that you're pushing to the correct repository.

Additionally, verify that your pull request is targeting the correct base branch.

Sometimes, the PR might be pointing to a different branch, and the commits might not show up in the expected view.

Also, ensure that the commits are not hidden behind a merge or squash commit.

If you're using interactive rebase or merging commits before pushing, it's possible that the individual commits aren't showing because of the way Git handles commit history.

If your commits are still not appearing, try closing and reopening the PR, as Bitbucket may not refresh the PR view immediately.

Lastly, check that you have not inadvertently excluded certain commits through .gitignore or by excluding specific files in your Git configuration.

If all else fails, contacting Bitbucket support for further investigation may be necessary.
