How Do I Get the Current Branch Name in Git?
To get the name of the current branch in Git, you can use the following command:
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
This command will output the name of the current branch. If you're on a branch named main, for example, the output will be main.
Alternatively, you can also use:
git branch --show-current
This command was introduced in Git version 2.22 and provides a more direct way to get the name of the current branch. It will output the name of the current branch without additional formatting.
