# Get The Name Of The Current Branch
|
|
|
|
There are a couple ways of doing this. If you are on Git 2.22+, then the
|
|
`git-branch` porcelain command now supports a flag for this.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git branch --show-current
|
|
main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are on an older version of Git or looking for a plumbing command that is
|
|
more appropriate for scripting, then `git-rev-parse` is what you're looking
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
|
|
main
|
|
```
