Access All Pull Requests Across Bitbucket Repositories

[#1]

In Bitbucket, each user can access the list of pull requests for each repository but what if you want to see all the PRs across multiple projects and repositories?

Viewing pull requests (PRs) from multiple repositories on a single page can benefit various stakeholders, including:

• Project Management: Teams can track the progress of multiple projects efficiently, managing resources and timelines effectively.

• Developers: They can easily access and review PRs from different repositories, facilitating collaboration and ensuring code quality.

• Quality Assurance Teams: Continuous integration processes can be monitored to ensure that changes are tested and integrated smoothly.

• Team Leads and Managers: They can analyze pull request activity across repositories to gather insights on development trends and team performance.

• New Team Members: They can quickly familiarize themselves with the codebase and ongoing work by reviewing PRs across repositories.

• Code Reviewers: Ensuring adherence to coding standards and best practices across all projects becomes easier with a consolidated view of PRs.

In this article, I’ll share a Forge app that shows all the PRs across all the repositories a user has access to in a specific workspace.

App walkthrough

The All Workspace PRs link is added to each repository. When selected, it shows the page with all the PRs visible to the current user.

By default, only the Open PRs are shown, but the filter selection can be changed to display PRs in a different state. The app also has an additional filter for reviewers, and additional filters can be added by updating the app with the desired options.

How can you access all the pull requests across Bitbucket repositories the repository? (in less than 5 minutes)

Here are the steps to follow:

• Setup Forge on your workstation

• Clone the Bitbucket reports and follow the setup instructions of the 02.AllWorkspacePRs app

• Browse to any repository and open the All Workspace PRs page from the left-hand navigation menu
