pipelines - get the name of the target branch of pull request

[Eyal Lapid]

Is there a way to get in a pipeline build, the name of the target branch?

I see there is a way to get the name of the branch that is building. But I did not see a way to get the name of the target branch.

My use case - we have a large project that we want to add a linter phase to it. But I want the linter to report linting erros only on changed files. I can do a git diff names only between to branches for this and send the result to the linter. But I need the name of the target branch for this.

Hi @Eyal Lapid,

with the current branch pipelines that is not available. However, the upcoming pull request builds will have this information available as a branch variable. You can track to progress of this work here: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/13438/add-specific-pipelines-configuration-for (should be released very soon)
