How to get the current branch name in git?

To get the current branch name in Git, you can use the git rev-parse command and pass the --abbrev-ref option.

For example, you can use the following command:

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

This will output the name of the current branch.

Alternatively, you can use the git branch command with the --show-current option:

git branch --show-current

This will also output the name of the current branch.

Note that these commands will only work if you are currently in a Git repository. If you are not in a Git repository, or if you are in a detached HEAD state, these commands will not work.
