How can I write a multi-line if block on Bitbucket Pipeline?

Question

From here I learned that Bitbucket Pipeline supports ifs statements.

How do I do multi-line blocks inside if statements?

This doesn't compute:

    script:
      - if [ $BITBUCKET_BRANCH == "master" ];
        then;
          echo Line1
          echo line2
        fi;

Bitbucket pipelines are written in YAML, so you can take full advantage of the YAML language.

For multiline, you can also use either | or > operators.

- >
  if [ $BITBUCKET_BRANCH == 'master' ]; then
    echo "We are on master :)"
  else
    echo "We are not on master :("
  fi

this should be the accepted answer, so much better as in the pipeline runs as single statement – DrCord Mar 17 '20 at 19:30
for some reason using > operator was throwing syntax errors for the if else statement but using | worked perfectly – Darren Mar 30 '23 at 11:19

I found that this works:

- if [ $BITBUCKET_BRANCH == 'master' ]; then
- echo "We are on master"
- fi
