Is it impossible to checkout a different branch in Jenkinsfile?

Question

I have two branches on BitBucket: master and develop. I\'ve also got a BitBucket Team Folder job configured on my Jenkins server to build that reposito

Answer 1

You can use the intrinsic function in Jenkins Pipeline created for Git cloning and pulling. I would also suggest cloning the branches into separate directories.

checkout([$class: 'GitSCM',
  branches: [[name: '*/branch_name']],
  doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false,
  extensions: [[$class: 'RelativeTargetDirectory',
    relativeTargetDir: 'different_directory']],
  submoduleCfg: [],
  userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'git@github.domain:org/repo.git']]])
