npm version on Azure Pipelines (VSTS) upon merge

Question

We are holding a CI pipeline to run on every PR.
Once a PR marked as completed, it auto merge the code to master branch.

We want to update the version in package.json using npm version, however, we have a branch policy to prevent direct push to master branch.

How can we apply the npm version command upon the PR completion and make it commit the new version to master?

You can grant Bypass Branch Policies permissions to a specific user, then he can push the directly to the master:

The permissions are managed in along with other Git permissions.

thank you, any thoughts about how to hook this directly on PR completion? – SagiLow Jul 29 '19 at 07:05
You can create a new build with only 1 task that commit and push the file (with the user permissions), the last task in the PR build will be trigger the another build. – Shayki Abramczyk Jul 29 '19 at 07:09
You're welcome! if you need help how to trigger another build from current build you can ask :) – Shayki Abramczyk Jul 29 '19 at 08:36
