—How do I view the name of the current branch in my Git repository?
We can use git branch
:
git branch --show-current
The --show-current
flag was added in Git 2.2. For older versions of Git, we must use the following command instead:
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
Note that neither of these commands will work if the repository is in detached HEAD state, i.e. if you’ve previously checked out a commit that is not on the tip of any branch.
