Is there a git command that returns the current project name?

Question

Does git have a built-in command for showing the name of the current remote project? Right now I\'m using this:

git remote -v | head -n1 | awk \'{print $2}\' | s         


        

Answer 1

I would like to point out the same answer @Mike mentioned in the comments to your question, the $GIT_DIR/description file. Some other software use this for the name of the repository, such as the post-receive-email hook script. (Which actually does sed -ne '1p' "$GIT_DIR/description") and thus simply use the first line from that file as the name of the repository.
