I had the same problem to be solved. Specifically, make a zip file of all branches and offer those as artifacts to be used in different test jobs.

In "Branches to build", put "**"

Then, Execute shell:

while read -ra ITEM; do
  for i in "${ITEM[@]}"; do
    git checkout $i
    
  done
done <<< $(git branch -r | grep -v "HEAD ->" | xargs -L 1 | cut -d'/' -f2)

This reads the list of branches, checkouts each of them separately and allows to do stuff in each of them. The <<< command converts this output:

  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/branch1
  origin/master
  origin/secondbranch

into checkout usable list:

branch1
master
