Bring back Get-GitBranch

[Pxtl]

System Details

• posh-git version/path: 1.1.0
• PowerShell version: 5.1.19041.1682
• Git version: 2.38.1.windows.1
• OS: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19044.0

Issue Description

The commandlet Get-GitBranch has been removed from the Posh-Git exported commands list. It's still present in the repo utils but has been left out of the export script. Get-GitBranch is very useful to my workflow -- every time I push a new branch, I do

git push -u origin (Get-GitBranch)

Can this be resurrected? Otherwise is there a powershell module I should be using instead?

In the mean time you can use something like this: git push -u origin (git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)

every time I push a new branch, I do

git push -u origin (Get-GitBranch)

In the mean time you can use something like this: git push -u origin (git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)

Even better: git push -u origin HEAD!

# pnb = push new branch
git config --global alias.pnb "push -u origin HEAD"

Removing Get-GitBranch was part of a deliberate effort (https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git/pull/427) to reduce posh-git's surface area to tab expansion + prompt. You could use If you want PowerShell functions for Git, check out https://github.com/PoshCode/PSGit.
