Getting the destination commit SHA for a PR in Pipelines

Adam Fenton

Hi all,

Bitbucket Pipelines question here:

I'm trying to get the commit hash of the head of the destination branch of a PR. I can see the current commit is available in $BITBUCKET_COMMIT and the destination branch name is in $BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH, but how can I get the head commit of the destination branch?

I need this to fully take advantage of Happo for UI screenshot testing.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Adam,

You can use in your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file the following command, in order to get the hash of the last commit in the destination branch:

git rev-parse origin/$BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH

Please feel free to let us know if this works for you and if you need anything further!

Kind regards,
Theodora
