Jenkins pipeline branch name returns null

Question

I\'m trying to get the name of my branch for a jenkins groovy script. I cannot get the current branch name. I try the following:

stage(\'Check out code\')
ch         


        

Answer 1

My workaround, Don't know if work for someone else..

def branchName = getCurrentBranch()
echo 'My branch is' + branchName

def getCurrentBranch () {
    return sh (
        script: 'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD',
        returnStdout: true
    ).trim()
}
