How can I log the branch that I am currently working in?

Hi,

I am trying to include the branch I am currently working in, in my log file. You can directly ask for the branch you are working by typing "!git branch" in the command window, but I am unable to store the resulting branche to a variable so I can actually log it.

Does anyone have experience? I don't want to hard code the branch in use, since this seems a littile vulnerable to mistakes.

Thanks,

Erik-Jan

What about:

[status, msg] = system('git branch');

and then using the string in msg?

Perfect, thank you sir!

I'll make use of that, too, Jan! That should be an 'answer'.

[status, msg] = system('git branch');

Then use msg afterwards.
