What feature do you want to see added?
Add native support for Bitbucket Cloud OAuth 2.0 authentication within the Git plugin.
Currently, authentication primarily relies on SSH keys, usernames/passwords, app passwords, or personal access tokens. As Bitbucket Cloud continues to encourage OAuth-based authentication and organizations move away from long-lived credentials, the Git plugin should support OAuth 2.0 as a first-class authentication method.
The implementation should ideally:
- Add a Bitbucket Cloud OAuth 2.0 credential type that integrates with the Jenkins Credentials system.
- Support OAuth authorization and automatic access token refresh using refresh tokens.
- Allow OAuth credentials to be selected anywhere Git credentials are currently used (freestyle jobs, Pipeline, Multibranch Pipeline, etc.).
- Eliminate the need to manage static credentials for Git operations against Bitbucket Cloud.
- Improve security by leveraging short-lived access tokens instead of long-lived credentials.
This would provide a more secure and modern authentication experience while aligning with Bitbucket Cloud's recommended authentication methods.

Are you interested in contributing this feature?
Yes. I would be interested in helping test the implementation and provide feedback. I may also be able to contribute code if guidance is provided on the preferred implementation approach.
