Hi team,

I have a process where a json file gets updated after triggering a build. That file needs to be committed then create a PR to the master branch located in Bitbucket. Is it possible to do this via scripts or directly on the yaml file?

I found this plugin but seems very minimal with the commands:

> **[GitHub - thedyrt/git-commit-buildkite-plugin: A Buildkite plugin to commit...](https://github.com/thedyrt/git-commit-buildkite-plugin)**
>
> A Buildkite plugin to commit and push changed files to a git repository - GitHub - thedyrt/git-commit-buildkite-plugin: A Buildkite plugin to commit and push changed files to a git repository

Hey @ebanster!

This would be possible, yes; the agent AMI has `git` installed on it, so in theory it can run any `git` commands that you need it to.

There is another [plugin](https://github.com/envato/github-pull-request-buildkite-plugin) which can open up Pull Requests which may be of use. Does this JSON file change in the build, then you want to commit it back to `origin` as a PR?

Thanks mate. We were able to figure it out by just using the git commands via the agent AMI.
