How to create a Pull Request automatically to new release branches if I have a hotfix?

[kushankjain]

I am using Jenkins as my CI tools, I want the ability to automatically create PR for new release versions if there was an hotfix merged to an older release branch.

Lets say my current release version is 1.6.

I created a hot fix on 1.5, I want that either Jenkins or Bitbucket should automatically create a PR from Release 1.5 -> Release 1.6

How can I accomplish this?

Hi Kushank! Are you using Bitbucket Server or Cloud? If you're in Server, we have a Feature request for that at BSERV-5112 although in your case you might need to contact Jenkins for that. 

Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you!

Best regards,

Ana

Hi Ana,

I am on Bitbucket cloud. I did find solution for server but nothing for cloud.

Bitbucket server has a feature where it merges any hotfix into all children branches, but I did not find anything on cloud.

I too would like to know how to automatically generate a PR for Bitbucket Cloud.

Can you share the solution for Bitbucket server ?
