- Retrieves the name of the currently checked-out branch:
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
- The
HEAD
keyword refers to the currently active commit - The param
--abbrev-ref
ensures that only the branch name (without the "refs/heads/" prefix) is returned. - Use the
$(...)
syntax to execute shell commands within the command line.$(...)
is called command substitution in Bash. - This allows the output of the
git rev-parse
command to be used as an argument togit push origin
. - Push the current branch to the remote named "origin":
git push origin $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
- The current branch will be pushed to the remote repository named "origin."
