git_branch

Returns the name of the current git branch, possibly as managed by CI ENV vars

If no branch could be found, this action will return an empty string. If FL_GIT_BRANCH_DONT_USE_ENV_VARS is true, it'll ignore CI ENV vars. This is a wrapper for the internal action Actions.git_branch

Lane Variables

Actions can communicate with each other using a shared hash lane_context, that can be accessed in other actions, plugins or your lanes: lane_context[SharedValues:XYZ]. The git_branch action generates the following Lane Variables:

SharedValue Description
SharedValues::GIT_BRANCH_ENV_VARS The git branch environment variables

To get more information check the Lanes documentation.


Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

fastlane action git_branch

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Fastfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

fastlane run git_branch

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

fastlane run git_branch parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all fastlane actions you use to your Fastfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of fastlane, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
