To get the name of the current branch in Git, you can use the following command:
git branch --show-current
This command will print the name of the current branch to the terminal. If you're not on any branch (e.g. you're in a detached HEAD state), it will print (HEAD detached at <commit>)
.
If you're using an older version of Git that doesn't support the --show-current
option, you can use the following command instead:
git symbolic-ref --short HEAD
This command will print the name of the current branch to the terminal as well. However, if you're not on any branch, it will print an error message instead. In that case, you can use the following command to get the commit hash instead:
git rev-parse --short HEAD
This command will print the short hash of the current commit to the terminal.
