Is it possible to Git merge / push using Jenkins pipeline

Question

I am trying to create a Jenkins workflow using a Jenkinsfile. All I want it to do is monitor the 'develop' branch for changes. When a change occurs, I want it to git tag and merge to master. I am using the GitSCM Step but the only thing that it appears to support is git clone. I don't want to have to shell out to do the tag / merge but I see no way around it. Does anyone know if this is possible? I am using BitBucket (on-prem) for my Git server.

If what you're after are the git credentials you can use the SSH Agent plugin like in this link: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-28335?focusedCommentId=260925&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-260925

sshagent(['git-credentials-id']) {
  sh "git push origin master"
}
