Apply Bitbucket pull request as a patch

git bitbucket pull-request git-patch

I've got a repo on Bitbucket that only I have write access to.

Someone forked that repo, made changes and issued a pull request to my repo from the fork.

How can I get that pull request as a git patch to apply temporarily to my repo for testing purposes?

The forked repo is private so I can't pull it down, and I wouldn't want to do that anyway.

On GitHub you can simply go to a pull request and add a .patch to the end of the url to download the patch. This doesn't work with Bitbucket.

The Pull Request Patch is available through bitbucket API (despite there is no button to download it directly from the Pull Request page).

to access the Pull Request patch : https://bitbucket.org/api/2.0/repositories/GROUP/PROJECT/pullrequests/ID/diff
