How to access git branch name from pipeline job?

Question

I have a Jenkins Pipeline job which is configured to checkout a git repo and a specific local branch.

How can i get the name of the local branch in my Jenkinsfile?<

You can use scm attributes to get the list of branches configured for your scm :

// List of all configured branches
def allBranches = scm.branches

// Only the first configured branch name
def gitBranch = scm.branches[0].name
