How to download source code for a particular commit in Bitbucket?

Question

I would like to download (as zip) a particular commit in Bitbucket. Unfortunately I can not find any facility in the UI to do it.

(I've already found out that I can see the source by copy and pasting the short hash of the commit after the url: https://bitbucket.org/myname/myproject/src/) Is this manual way only to browse the source code of a particular commit?)

Answer 1

The url below should work. Just change required parts.

https://bitbucket.org/<username>/<reponame>/get/<commitCODE>.tar.gz

Is there a way to provide credentials while calling this url? Since some of the repos are private in nature and needs login id and password of bitbucket to get access. – Uri

@AnudeepS You can use curl: curl -s -S --user username:apppassword -L -O <URL> – Medullated

Answer 2

https://bitbucket.org/USERNAME/PROJECTNAME/get/COMMITNUMBER.tar.gz

note the uppercase in the URL. you will need to change them COMMITNUMBER can be found under commit for that specific commit.

This is not possible in 2021. Maybe they removed this feature from BitBucket. – Finstad

Please try to enter in Terminal "git checkout COMMIT-ID"
