Hello everyone, I'm currently having a problem trying to retrieve the current git branch and the current git SHA of a repository, the main problem being that the method I'm using does not work in different versions of git. Right now I'm pulling out this information with the following two commands:
# first seven chars of the SHA git rev-parse --short HEAD # current branch name git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD The second command does not work in git 1.7 and lower (I think), the first command only works in versions greater than or equal to 1.5.2. *What would be a more effective way to achieve this without having to check for the current git version*? What I would like would be a command that would work in any git version or that has the greatest coverage for the multiple versions available. Thanks! Yoshiki. --
