How can I view the pull request URL for the current branch?

Question

After pushing a change, I see text like this:

Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 478 bytes | 239.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote:
remote: Create pull request for my-branch => master-branch
remote:   https://bitbucket.org/my-company/repo/pull-requests/12345

But if I don't make a PR at that time, and the text scrolls out of view, that URL is gone. How can I simply generate or re-view that URL without making a change and committing/pushing again?

Answer 1

I was able to generate the URL using a batch file like this:

@echo off

setlocal 
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ( 
    'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD'
) do ( 
    set branch=%%a
    set url=https://bitbucket.org/my-company/repo/pull-requests/new?source=%%a^^^&t=1
) 

echo %url%
endlocal 

It simply grabs the current git branch and puts in a string, then echoes the string.

Answer 2

This pull request URL is not a git feature but a message generated by a hook script on the BitBucket server.

On a BitBucket server, you can disable it globally with: How do I disable the remote create pull request message when pushing changes?. On the BitBucket cloud you cannot disable it.

One soultion to obtain this message would be to simulate a git pull with the --dry-run option, such as :

git pull --dry-run 

but if this is not enough to trigger the hook, probably that the only way is to go through the BitBucket web interface.
