Configure Jenkins multibranch pipeline job
| Info |

These instructions apply to Multibranch Pipeline jobs and Bitbucket Team Jobs. Other Jenkins jobs do not have the Branch Source configuration option available. |
A Jenkinsfile is required for multibranch jobs. A Jenkinsfile is defined in your repository and describes how your pipeline will work.
Select a job from the Dashboard page and click ⚙️ Configure.
On the Configuration page, scroll down to the Branch Sources section (for a Bitbucket Project configuration, this section is called Projects).
Click Add Source and select Bitbucket to expand the section.
Enter information in the following fields:
Server - select the Bitbucket Server endpoint you added in the Bitbucket Branch Source plugin section
Credentials -select your administrator Bitbucket credentials. If you do not have credentials configured, click Add to open the Jenkins Credentials Provider dialog and click Jenkins. From the the Kind section, click the dropdown to open the list of available options. Select the credential type you want to use, fill in the applicable information and click Add.If you use the Username/Password credentials, be sure to use the Bitbucket App Password. See App Passwords to learn more about setting up an app password in Bitbucket Cloud.
While you can use any of the authentication methods that best fits your organization’s security policy, we recommend using SSH Username with private key. Go to Configure SSH Credentials for Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket for instructions on how to set up SSH credentials.
Owner - enter your workspace key
Repository Name - select the name of the Bitbucket repository associated with this Jenkins job.
Git plugin
Log into your Jenkins instance.
Add or select the job you want to associate with your Bitbucket repository. We recommend choosing a Freestyle job that works best with the Git plugin.
Once you are in the job, click Configure from the left menu.
Select the Source Code Management tab and the Git option when the Configuration page opens.
In the Repository URL field, enter the URL for the Bitbucket repository you want Jenkins to integrate with. This is the same URL as the one displayed in the Repo Clone URL field located in the Instance Details for your Jenkins instance of Webhook to Jenkins.
Click Add to open the Jenkins Credentials Provider dialog and click the Kind pull down to open the list of available options. Select the credential type you want to use and click Add. While you can use any of the authentication methods that best fits your organization’s security policy, we recommend using SSH Username with private key. Go to Configure SSH Credentials for Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket for instructions on how to set up SSH credentials.
In the Branches to build section, click Add Branch to identify the specific branches you want to track in a repository. Enter the branch in the Branch Specifier field. Leave the field blank for all branches to be examined for changes and build. By default the field is set to
*/master. Confirm the branch name is entered correctly. Click the Help icon next to the Branch Specifier for more formatting information.
Select the Build Trigger tab.
Select Poll SCM. This is an important step, as the build won’t trigger in Jenkins if this option is not selected.
Git plugin version 4.11.4 or higher requires the notifyCommit token. See Access token requirements for Git plugin 4.11.4+ for instructions regarding generating and using the token.
