Sometime there may be cases when we need to know the current branch we are working with. There are a number of ways to get the name of the current branch.
Most cronical way to displays the full refspec:
git symbolic-ref HEAD
To show only the branch name (Git v1.8 and later):
git symbolic-ref --short HEAD
On Git v1.7+ you can also use the following command:
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
or with Git 2.22 and above:
git branch --show-current
