Bitbucket pipeline - How do i skip the deploy step to Dev & directly deploy to required environment.

Bitbucket Pipeline : Is there any way to skip the deploy step to the Dev environment & directly deploy to Stage / prod environment using manual triggers

Like in Gitlab pipeline, we can directly deploy to which ever environment we like dev/stage/prod etc.. by skipping the deploy step to Dev/stage using manual triggers after the build is succeeded. 

Below is my pipeline, here i directly want to deploy to stage after build and i want to skip the Dev deploy step.

image: node:14.17.1 

pipelines:
  branches:
    develop:
      - step:
          name: build
          script:
            - ......
          artifacts:
            - .....
      - step:
          name: DEV-Deploy
          deployment: Dev
          trigger: manual
          script:
            - .....
      - step:
          name: STAGE-Deploy
          deployment: Stage
          trigger: manual
          script:
             - .....

Please advise.. 

Thanks

Hey Chanakya,

If you would like to set up a manual trigger to deploy to an environment such as staging/production  - you can try using the "custom" tag within the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file.

The "custom" tag allows you to select the pipeline step whenever you like manually from the drop-down list within Repository > Pipelines > Run Pipeline - you can run this against any branch within your repository accordingly.

More information can be found here:
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/configure-bitbucket-pipelinesyml/

For example:

 custom:
   manualdeploy:
     - step:
     name: 'Manual Build'
     deployment: staging
     script:
     - <Script goes here>
         

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
