copy-branch

copy-branch 📋

Just run npx copy-branch to copy your current Git branch name to your clipboard.

npx copy-branch
Branch name "release/rc-5.4.1" copied to clipboard!

Why? ✨

Because it's easier. Compare yourself:

• git branch --show-current | pbcopy for macOS,
• git branch --show-current | xclip -selection clipboard on Linux,
• git branch --show-current | clip for Windows, or
• git branch and manually copying it.

Installation 🚀

Not needed! Use it directly with npx: npx copy-branch

Want to install it locally? Sure: npm install -g copy-branch
