Summary
This knowledge base article covers how we can list the last modification date of all branches within all repositories within Bitbucket Data Center.
Solution
Prerequisites
You will need to have filesystem access to the $BITBUCKET_HOME directory
Bitbucket Data Center will store raw Git repositories under $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/data/repositories/\#. We can obtain the date and branch name from Git using the following command:
git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate:iso8601 --format='%(committerdate:iso8601)%09%(refname)' refs/headsTo list this for all repositories we can loop using the following bash script:
#!/bin/bash
cd $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/data/repositories
for rep in [0-9]*
do
cd $rep
grep -E 'project|repository' repository-config
git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate:iso8601 --format='%(committerdate:iso8601)%09%(refname)' refs/heads
cd ..
doneThis will produce output similar to the following:
project = TST
repository = testing
2021-07-28 09:29:37 +1000 refs/heads/Development
2020-10-01 04:31:31 +0000 refs/heads/master
2020-10-01 04:30:48 +0000 refs/heads/Staging
project = RW
repository = realwork
2021-01-20 20:36:13 +1100 refs/heads/Development
2018-10-24 09:19:23 +1100 refs/heads/master
2018-10-24 09:18:49 +1100 refs/heads/Staging
project = CP
repository = wombat
2019-02-28 13:10:06 +1100 refs/heads/master
