How can I get branch name in bitbucket-pipeline.yml file

Question

Hi all,

I have a config file looks like this:

image: myimg
pipelines:
   branches:
      release/*:
          - step:

- script:

- // I want to get branch name here, to pull exacly the branch name when deploy

Is there anyway to do that? Please help

If you see something like this:
+ echo $BITBUCKET_BRANCH

that is the command line.
The actual output will print below this line and without the + sign.

That prints $BITBUCKET_BRANCH, not the actual name of the branch.

Hi,

Pipelines provides default environment variables you can access in your configuration.

For your case specifically:

- script:
    - echo $BITBUCKET_BRANCH

For the full list, see the documentation.

Hope this helps!
