Force shippable to do a build/deploy

[Gibran Shah]

Hello,

We need to force a deploy from our bitbucket repository to our server. We have two branches in BitBucket, a development branch and a master branch. Usually, we push to the develop branch first, which triggers shippable to do a build and deploy to our test website. We then check the test website to make sure everything is OK, and if it is, then we do a merge in BitBucket. We merge the develop branch to the master branch. This merge also triggers shippable to do a build and deploy to our production website.

This time, for some reason, shippable didn't deploy. We merged from develop to master, but the results of the merge on the master branch did not get pushed to the production website. We have verified that both the develop branch and master branch are synchronized and that they both have the latest code. Since we rely on the merge from develop to master to automatically trigger shippable, we don't have any way of deploying our website to production now (BitBucket won't do another merge if it detects the two branches are in sync).

How do we force shippable to do a build and deploy of the master branch?
