How can I Upload entire directory to bitbucket repo via cloud API

[Andre Pilakis]

Hello, I have an existing repo and would like to add an entire directory to it.

I am following this from the docs: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-source/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-src-post

I am successfully able to add a single file with the following request:

curl --user $user:$password \

 -X POST https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/$workspace/$repo_name/src \

 -F helloworld.txt=@helloworld.txt

Now lets say I had a directory named "mydir" which had multiple files inside it, Is there a way I can upload that entire directory, or the contents of the directory with one API call?

Hey Andre,

Unfortunately, wget/cURL does not have the concept of what a "folder" is in this context.

They can be used to upload individual files as you have stated - but they are unable to upload entire folders in a singular command.

You would need to write a bash script to cycle through each individual file in that directory to achieve what you wish to do.

Cheers!

Hi Andre,

first thing that comes to mind is to use git add, git commit and git push to add a directory to a BB repository. The commands can run as a script if you need to automate. However I'm not sure about your specific use-case.

Best, Ulrich
