Issue

• I would like to trigger Jenkins from Bitbucket Server/Cloud repositories

Environment

• Jenkins
• Cloudbees Jenkins Enterprise
• Bitbucket Cloud
• Bitbucket Server

Resolution

On every Git repository there is a hidden .git folder and inside the .git folder there is a hooks subfolder. This folder can hold scripts that are executed by Git when it performs certain operations. This feature is well documented (see Customizing Git - Git Hooks in the Git documentation).

Bitbucket Cloud and Bitbucket Server provide support to create hooks for your repositories. But implementations are different:

• In Bitbucket Cloud this support is provided by the platform: see Bitbucket Cloud hooks
• In Bitbucket Server this support is provided by add-ons: see Bitbucket Server hooks

This difference in implementations is one of the reasons why solutions differs in Jenkins whether you use Bitbucket Cloud or Server. Plugins are often designed to integrate with one solution only.

Configuration

Note: We strongly encourage to use Pipeline and Pipeline Multibranch.
