We ship a new bitrise cli version on the second Tuesday of every month.
The new release will be available on the bitrise.io
virtual machines on the weekend after the CLI release,
unless we discover any serious bug / regression.

Read on to learn more about this month’s Bitrise CLI release and about the changes around Bitrise tools and steps.

New version of Bitrise CLI (1.11.0)

workflow model new property: meta

From now on you can define workflows’ meta field:

format_version: 5
default_step_lib_source: https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise-steplib.git

trigger_map:
- push_branch: "branch1"
  workflow: primary

workflows:
  primary:
    meta:
      bitriseio:
        stack: fast-stack
    steps:
    ...

meta property is used to define extra options without creating a new Bitrise cli release.

The cli does not use meta field directly, but other tools can use this property to expand the workflow options.

  • git-clone 3.6.2:
    • won’t merge manually if repository can’t be fetched, will use PR branch as a fallback
    • reverted to 3.5.x github pr merge strategy by default (manual_merge: "no") while we’re tracking a couple of issues
    • added new input: manual_merge: Prefer to do a manual git merge. Default to yes.
    • Breaking change*: due to recent issues with GitHub PR merge branch update delays we changed to “manual git merge” by default. If you use pull requests from private forks you should switch the manual_merge option introduced in this version to no, which restores the previous logic (it uses the GitHub exposed pr merge branch instead of attempting to do a manual git merge).
    • we’ll release a new version soon which will be able to auto-detect the best merge strategy/algorithm, so that you don’t have to turn off manual_merge in case of GitHub private fork pull requests
