Get the current branch name

Package Exports

  • branch-name

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (branch-name) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

branch-name Build status for branch-name

Get the current branch name

Why?

  • Clean, minimal, promise-based API.
  • Respects your $PATH.
  • Uses the most reliable branch detection algorithm.
  • Gives you control in weird situations.

Install

npm install branch-name --save

Usage

Get it into your program.

const branchName = require('branch-name');

Get the current branch name.

branchName.get().then((name) => {
   console.log(name);
});

Get the current branch name, but with a fallback result for detached head and non-repository situations.

branchName.assume('dev').then((name) => {
   console.log(name);  // prints current branch if possible, 'dev' otherwise
});

Get the current branch name, with the default master as a fallback.

branchName.assumeMaster().then((name) => {
   console.log(name);  // prints current branch if possible, 'master' otherwise
});

API

get(option)

Returns the branch name that HEAD points to. Throws an error if not in a git repository or HEAD is not a branch.

assume(name, option)

Similar to .get(), but will return name if not in a git repository or the HEAD is detached.

assumeMaster(option)

Similar to .assume() but always uses "master" as the fallback name.

option

Type: object

cwd

Type: string
Default: process.cwd()

Directory whose branch you want determine.
