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

[Khánh Phan]

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

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!

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

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.
