Can you have multiple Bitbucket accounts connected to Jira?

Question

I work for a company that recently got acquired by a larger company.  The larger company want us to migrate to their Jira (on-premises) instance.

As part of this, we want to connect our Source Control solution, which is Bitbucket Cloud currently.  The larger company uses Bitbucket Server.

I was asked to find out whether you could have two separate Bitbucket accounts linked to a single Jira instance, or would we need to migrate all of our Bitbucket repositories over into a single Bitbucket account?

Kind regards,

Jonathan

Hi Fabio,

is this also possible for Jira Cloud and two Bitbucket Cloud instances?

Hello @Jonathan Mackey

Welcome to the community!

Yes, you should have no issues linking a single Jira Cloud site to multiple separate Bitbucket Cloud workspaces.

You may follow the steps below to link Bitbucket Cloud with Jira Cloud: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/connect-bitbucket-cloud-to-jira-software-cloud/

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

HI @Jonathan Mackey ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

you can link multiple bitbucket instances with a single JIRA instance through application links (https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/link-bitbucket-with-jira-776640408.html)

In this case all Bitbucket servers are shown in the development tools section of a Jira project.

When creating a new branch from the Jira issue, the user can select which Bitbucket server should be used. Unfortunately this happens each and every time in every project.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
