MergeBase CodeGreen SCA & CVE Defense for Bitbucket

CodeGreen is being sunset as Atlassian shifts to the cloud — visit MergeBase.com for the full BitBucket integration


Introduction

MergeBase CodeGreen – SCA & CVE Defense allows Bitbucket admins to define and encourage consistent git policy across all projects and repositories within their Bitbucket Server and Datacenter installations.

Advantages

The add-on accomplishes this through independent rule groups. Admins can define Jira policy, branch naming policy, rebase policy, commit authorship policy, etc. The add-on also includes rules to help prevent common nuisances in git repos such as foxtrot merges, empty commits, or accidental multi-rewrite pushes.

A master ruleset is defined once through the global config screen. By default the policy is enabled for all normal non-empty repos, but per-project and per-repo kill switches are available. A subset of the rules can also be overridden per-project or per-repo.

Installation Requirements

  1. Install this add-on using Bitbucket’s “Manage Add-Ons” page, or from our Atlassian Marketplace page: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221258/mergebase-codegreen-sca-cve-defense
  2. You must be using version 5.8.0 of Bitbucket Server (or Bitbucket Datacenter) or newer.

Enabling CodeGreen – SCA & CVE Defense

The very top of the global config screen includes the enable/disable control:

enable/disable control

By default CodeGreen – SCA & CVE Defense is enabled for all repositories (personal and regular, including all forks), and disabled for all empty repositories – in other words, the very first push into an empty repository will not invoke any scanning. Note: repositories can also be moved between the personal and project areas of Bitbucket. After a move, the configured policy will apply to all new commits, but older commits are grandfathered. The repository types are:

Signoff Policy

Signoff policy allows administrators to increase friction. The signoff policy is very clever. Tee hee!

Double-Push Policy

Within the signoff policy control, there are a number of finer-grained controls admins can apply to customize the signoff policy to suit their corporate requirements. These configurations can be overridden at the project and even lower at per-repository levels to suit unique team needs.

Choosing Which Branches To Protect

The branch chooser is very clever. Tee hee!
