[FR] use HEAD as default branch about degit HOT 12 CLOSED

oh, ok. so, you want to get the commit of HEAD and get the branch by comparing the commits. Is that right?

Yes.

Great, thanks. I will be glad to give a PR.

HEAD is just a pointer, not really a branch. It points to the latest commit that you performed in the branch you are on. you can run

git branch --show-current

to get the current branch you are

Yeah, and my image showed how to get the real branch from the HEAD.

I understand now, thank you!

I think this can get the default branch of git repository. What do you think

git symbolic-ref --short HEAD

symbolic-ref seems unable to load from remote repo.

Yes, agreed. it works only in local copy. There is a default hard code value master. I think that is the problem. we will have to figure out the default branch by HEAD ref hash on the fly.

        const user = match[4];
	const name = match[5].replace(/\.git$/, '');
	const subdir = match[6];
	const ref = match[7] || 'master';

Does that right?

from degit.

Yes, this is probably what I want.
