Adding an environment variable for the current branch without the origin/

[mAu888]

Added a second env variable GIT_LOCAL_BRANCH for retrieving the current branch without the remote origin/ prefix.

This pull request looks good
(what's this?)

Two problems with this:

• the name of the remote is configurable and not always "origin"
• Jenkins does not create a local branch, unless you explicitely tell it so in a different configuration parameter

[mAu888]

I see the problems. But it's only possible to check out the remote branches to one local branch (via Checkout/merge to local branch (optional)), isn't it?

[marc-guenther]

Yes, it's exactly one local branch, or none.

You might expose that local branch name in an env variable maybe, if there's a use case for that?

[mAu888]

No. The problem I'm facing is that I'm deploying my build artefacts (iOS .ipa files in this case) to an internal distribution server. And besides our development branch, we create branches for release builds and I need just the name of the release branch for the deployment.

So how is it possible with the version 2.0 of Git Plugin?
I've tried Check out to specific local branch Additional Behaviour with branch name 1.4, but nothing had changed. ${GIT_BRANCH} still contains name of the remote branch.
