How to list/get all the fork of a bitbucket repository?

Rikki Vizcarra

Hello,

I've been trying to find a way to list or get all the fork of a given bitbucket repository. Is there such a thing in bitbucket? I know a forked repo can see the parent repo, but I want the vice-versa. From the parent repo, I want to list all forked repos.

Hello @Rikki Vizcarra ,

Welcome to the Community.

Sure, forks info is on the Repository details card in the right sidebar:

Hope this helps.

Hi @Daniil Penkin

My issue is that it says zero from our main repository as an admin, which is weird. But accessing it as member who forked the repository, it shows the list of forks.

See screenshots below..

First below is the screenshot from the Admin account accessing the main/parent repo.

Second screenshot, is accessing the repo from a member that had previously forked the main/parent repo.

What we need is from the parent account, we can see the list of forked repos.

Hi @Daniil Penkin

Is this a bug or is this how it really works in bitbucket?

Sorry I didn't have time to get back to your question yesterday.

I believe it's caused not by a bug but by the visibility settings of the forks.

When you fork a repository, you have an option to make that new repository private. Moreover, admin of the repo can force any forks to be private (there's a setting under repository preferences). Now, a fork is included into that number on the side card to a user that looks at it only if the user has at least read access to the fork. As in, if the fork is private, only owner of the fork repo will see their repo in the fork list.

So I believe the admin of the original repository doesn't have access to the fork created by the person who took the second screenshot, so admin see 0 there. While the person who forked the repo obviously has access to the fork, so they see 1.

Does this make sense?

However if admin of the original repo has access to the created fork but still has 0 in that side card, this is not expected and must be a bug.

Let me know if that's the case.

Cheers,
Daniil
