I have a JSON file "appSettings.json" which has the following content:
{ "Branch": { "Name": "test" }, } My question is, how do I set the value "Branch.Name" to something else when running the bitbucket pipleline?

figured it out after checking this question.
- apt-get update - apt-get install -y jq # install jq - tmp=$(mktemp) - jq '.Branch.Name = "prod"' appsettings.json > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" appsettings.json Comments
You can use standard Bash/Shell commands to do a 'Find and Replace' inside a text file:
Use sed
sed -i -e 's/"test"/"prod"/g' appSettings.json # Delete the unwanted backup file, created by sed if [ -e appSettings.json-e ] then rm appSettings.json-e fi Use echo with Bash string substitution
Use this if you need to replace with special characters like "/" and "\", which sed cannot handle.
file_contents=$(< appSettings.json ) echo "${file_contents//\"test\"/\"prod\"}" > appSettings.json More info and source: Find and Replace Inside a Text File from a Bash Command
