copy branch name from command line OR the joy of teeny improvements
Nov 29, 2022
One of the real joys of coding is writing silly little things that remove a tiny task.
This one copies the name of the branch to your clipboard from the command line.
I popped it in my .zshrc as I use zsh
#.zshrc
alias copybranch="git branch | grep '^\*' | cut -d' ' -f2 | pbcopy"
No idea if I figured out that one-liner or just found it on StackOverflow but it brings me a little bit of joy every time I use it.
