Go to the documentation of this file.

/**
  @file
  @brief Retrieves the current branch from a local GIT repo
  @details In a local git repository, the current branch is always available in
  the `.git/HEAD` file in a format like this:  `ref: refs/heads/master`
 
  This macro simply reads the file and returns the last word (eg `master`).
 
  Example usage:
 
      %let gitdir=%sysfunc(pathname(work))/core;
      %let repo=https://github.com/sasjs/core;
      %put source clone rc=%sysfunc(GITFN_CLONE(&repo,&gitdir));
 
      %put The current branch is %mf_getgitbranch(&gitdir);
 
  @param [in] gitdir The directory containing the GIT repository
