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:
1
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:
1
2
3
4
5
6

10
#!/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:
