Automatic Application Deployment Using Bitbucket Pipelines
If you want to automate your routine working days this article is for you. You can find my experience using Bitbucket pipelines for Angular applications and Node.js servers there. But you can use these instructions for any project and any language. So let's go deeper.

Now you need to add the next code to your template:
