Bitbucket Integration
You can integrate a project in YouTrack with a Bitbucket repository. A Bitbucket integration enables the following features in YouTrack:
Apply commands to YouTrack issues right from a commit comment or a pull request description. For more information, see Apply Commands in VCS Commits.
Track commits that are related to specific issues in the activity stream for each issue. For more information, see View and Edit VCS Changes.
Add links to YouTrack issues in commit messages. For more information, see Link Issues in VCS Commits.
Prerequisites
Your YouTrack server must be accessible from the Internet.
The account that you use to connect to Bitbucket is either the owner of the repository or has admin-level access to the repository. This is the user account whose login and password are used for authentication. If you use an account that does not have admin-level access to the repository, you encounter an
unable to perform operationerror.A committer's email address in YouTrack must be the same as in Bitbucket. YouTrack searches for a user account based on the email address that is registered in Bitbucket. These users must also have permission to update issues in the connected YouTrack project. If no match is found or the user does not have the required permission, the commands are not applied.
You are able to access the Bitbucket server with an email address and password. The YouTrack integration with Bitbucket does not support two-step verification.
Configure the Bitbucket Integration
When you enable and configure the Bitbucket integration, you define mappings between a YouTrack project and a Bitbucket repository.
As an administrator, you can enable the Bitbucket integration for any project in YouTrack.
To enable the Bitbucket integration:
Open the page.
- Click the New VCS Integration button.
The New VCS Integration dialog opens in the sidebar.
From the Server drop-down list, select bitbucket.org.
Enter the login and password for the Bitbucket account.
If you are not the repository owner, provide the repository owner name. If you are the owner of the repository, leave the field blank.
- Click the Connect to VCS server button.
The New VCS Integration dialog displays settings for mapping the VCS to your project.
- Enter values for the following settings:

Troubleshooting
If you experience problems setting up the GitLab integration, see if the following condition applies.
Condition | You are unable to save the new VCS integration settings. YouTrack returns the error |
|---|---|
Cause | The login and password that are used for authentication with Bitbucket belong to a user who is not the owner of the repository and does not have admin-level access. This integration uses webhooks, which can only be created by the owner of the repository and other users who are granted admin access. |
Solution | Access the User and group access settings for your repository and grant admin access to the user you are using to authenticate with Bitbucket. You can also grant admin access to a group where this user is a member. Alternatively, use the login and password of an account that is already granted admin access in the repository. |
