Getting source branch commitid in pull request

[Simon Jespersen]

Hi, 

I am working on a deployment pipeline that triggers when i do a PR to my master branch. Using MultiBranch Jenkinsfile 

I need to get the commit id from the branch i am merging into master, i havent found any way to get information from the branch i am merging from. Any help would be appreciated

i have been looking on 

git cherry -v master <BRANCH NAME> 

git -log

and so on but havent found asnything that can pickup the information i need.

G'day Simon!

In Bitbucket Cloud Pipelines, you can make use of the $BITBUCKET_COMMIT default variable as defined in the following article - this will return the commit hash for the commit which started the build:

I am not an expert in Jenkins however I believe this article may prove useful to you so that you can pass the variable through as a payload to Jenkins:

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
