for those who end up here after today, there is a command built into git to show the current branch

git branch --show-current

Add these get aliases to your .gitconfig and you have the same functionality

[alias]
	scb = branch --show-current
        ccb = ! git scb | tr -d '\n' | pbcopy

git scb - shows (prints) current branch
git ccb - copies the current branch to clipboard
