Is there a way to pull/fetch pull request on to my local system? Currently, I have tried to read a lot of forums and founds some solutions none of which works git fetch origin refs/pull-requests/ /from: git fetch origin pull/3/head Just wanted to know if it possible to fetch the pull request to the local machine for testing on bitbucket.org, or is there a proper workflow in place to archive this requirement?

@Atish GoswamiThanks for your hack! It works!

@Adam I am currently using a hack for now using bitbucket's API and fetching the pull request as a patch and applying to local: curl -u : https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/ / /pullrequests/ /diff -L | git apply -

@Atish Goswami many thanks for your reply. I'm coming to the same conclusion. There seems to be so many conflicting posts around and it's hard to distinguish between people talking about bitbucket cloud and bitbucket server.

git fetch origin refs/pull-requests/<pull request number>/from:<new local branch name>

git fetch origin pull/3/head

Just wanted to know if it possible to fetch the pull request to the local machine for testing on bitbucket.org, or is there a proper workflow in place to archive this requirement?

Hi Atish,

Welcome to Atlassian community

Are you referring to something like described in the link below?

Hello @lumoura,

Thanks for the quick reply I have tried that, seems its a very old answer and does not work anymore, moreover, the UI has changed as well.

When I tried to execute the step provided in the URL it gave me permission issues, it seems you need have access to the forked repository as well (READ ACCESS) to fetch down the changes.

Regards,

@Atish Goswami did you find an answer?

@Adam No not yet.

It seems that bitbucket doesn't have this functionality.
