Summary
When running a Source Code Checkout task in Bamboo, the repository information is shown within the build logs. This article will help you identify its name and other information in the logs.
Solution
Step 1: find the build logs
Build logs are available at the Build Results page, under the Logs tab. You can view the full log file by clicking the "View" option.
Step 2: identify the Source Code Checkout Task logs
Upon having the full build logs, you can now identify the section that refers to the Source Code Checkout Task. Bamboo will explicitly tell you when that task started and when it was completed, thus all its logs are contained within that section. For example,

Once we are looking at the correct log section, we can easily identify the repository information. Taking the example above, we have:
Checking out into: this line tells you the directory where the source code is being checked out into, which is the build directory for the plan's job.
Fetching 'refs/heads/master' from 'ssh://git@bitbucket-server:7999/testProject/testRepository.git'.:
Repository branch is highlighted in orange.
Repository URL is highlighted in blue.
Repository's project is highlighted in red.
Repository name is highlighted in green.
Updating source code to revision <commit hash> / Checking out revision <commit hash> / Updated source code to revision <commit hash>: this line tells you which commit the task is fetching from the repository.
That's it!
