Is there a way to download forge code (dynamic pipelines)?

Question

Is there any way to download the forge code that is currently deployed to bitbucket, specifically for the "Repository dynamic pipelines provider" in dynamic pipelines? For instance, if we want to use a provider from the dropdown, but we want to check what steps it has in the code, is there some way to download or view it?

That's an interesting idea @Jeffrey Hsiung 
However, that's currently not possible.

Maybe you could explain a bit more about the context of this request? Thinking about other options, you could control the deployment process with a CI/CD that could add label on your repo at deploy time? And use forge tunnel to debug against the local code?

Cheers,
Caterina

Ah, thank you for the clarification. May I ask if there is any way for the developer to know what code is already deployed? For instance, if they want to make sure the latest code is deployed, can they somehow download what is already deployed and make sure certain changes are there or not?

Hello @Jeffrey Hsiung ,

and welcome to the Community!

The forge apps are installed from the source code, so whoever installed the app in your workspace should have access to the code, whether that person created the code themselves or received from somewhere else.

So if you want to have access to the code, you'd need to reach out to the person who installed the app in your workspace.

Thank you, @Jeffrey Hsiung !
