gitinfo

Documentation

Overview

Package gitinfo reads minimal git metadata from the working tree without shelling out — only the files needed to identify the current branch.

Functions

func CurrentBranch

func CurrentBranch(cwd string) string

CurrentBranch returns the branch name at HEAD for the given working directory. Returns an empty string when:

• cwd is empty or not inside a git repository
• HEAD is detached (no symbolic ref)
• any required file is unreadable

Supports both regular repos (.git is a directory) and linked worktrees (.git is a file pointing to gitdir).
