On the current branch alias, don't forget git branch --show-current with Git 2.22: stackoverflow.com/a/55088865/6309.

I used it in stackoverflow.com/a/56713414/6309

also if you've got git > 2 this works

git status --porcelain=v2 --untracked-file=no --branch \
| grep branch.head \
| cut -d ' ' -f 3

looks like I'm still a little behind on versions. I'm on v2.17.x

Neat tip though, I'll have to remember to come back and change my rc files to use this :)
