Bitbucket Repository Not Displaying Recent Commits in the UI

If you notice that recent commits are not showing up in the Bitbucket UI, but they appear in your local repository, this could be due to several potential causes.

First, ensure that the commits have been properly pushed to the remote repository.

You can check this by running git log on your local machine and confirming that the commits are listed.

If the commits are missing from the remote repository, try running git push origin branch_name to ensure the changes are pushed to the correct branch in Bitbucket.

If your push command was successful but the commits still don’t show in the UI, it might be due to caching or an issue with Bitbucket’s user interface.

Try refreshing the page and clearing your browser cache to rule out any display issues.

Sometimes, Bitbucket caches commit history and may not immediately reflect new changes in the web interface.

If refreshing the page doesn’t work, try accessing the repository from a different browser or incognito mode to see if the problem persists.

Another reason for this issue could be branch filtering.

If your repository has multiple branches, Bitbucket might be showing the wrong branch by default.

Check if you're viewing the correct branch where the commits were made.

You can switch branches using the branch selector in the UI.

If none of these solutions work, check if there is any ongoing maintenance or issues with Bitbucket services that could be affecting the commit display.

Finally, ensure that there are no restrictions or issues in your repository settings that could prevent certain commits from showing up in the UI.

You can verify this by checking the repository’s settings page for any filters or restrictions on commit visibility.

If the problem persists, contact Bitbucket’s support team for assistance.
