How to create a branch using the cloud api

[Mohammed Muthahhar]

I tried to use the api to create a branch. But it gives some error..

What exactly we want to give in the payload in post?

What commit hash value we want to enter??

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/seanfarley/hg/refs/branches \ -s -u seanfarley -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "name" : "smf/create-feature", "target" : { "hash" : "default", } }'

The hash identifies the commit from which you want to start your new branch, I guess.

Hi @Mohammed Muthahhar ,

please try the following api :

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{repo_slug}/src/ --F "parents={parent_hash}" --F "branch={branch_name}"

Keep in mind that you need to be authenticated first.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
