Checkout bitbucket pull requests locally

Question

I found this gist, showing how to check out a pull request locally from GitHub.

I\'m using bitbucket and I\'m looking for a similar function.

Can you help m

Answer 1

In bitbucket what you can do is

git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/"

and then

git fetch

after that you can checkout to the branch you want to

git checkout BRANCH_NAME

P.S: Hopefully bitbucket will sort this out https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-5814

Answer 2

One may fetch the code from Bitbucket Server's pull requests using:

git fetch origin refs/pull-requests/$PR_NO/from:$LOCAL_BRANCH

Answer 3

When is not possible to checkout the pull request, a trick is that you can checkout the last commit of that pull request

git checkout <hash code of last commit>
