Getting build cause

[Shade Alabsa]

I've been trying to write a Jenkinsfile to do different tasks based on whether it's a PR or a merge in Jenkins 2. I've found the snippet below which will tell me if the build was triggered by a user or via Github. The problem is that if the build was started via a PR or a merge the reason is the same. Is there a better way to get this? Thanks!

 def causes = currentBuild.rawBuild.getCauses()

    for ( cause in causes) {
        echo "Cause: " + cause.getShortDescription()
    }

Not sure exactly what your situation is, but if you are using GitHub organization folders (or single multibranch projects), you should be able to just check `env.CHANGE_ID != null` to detect a PR build.
