Get git branch name in Jenkins Pipeline/Jenkinsfile

Question

I\'ve create a jenkins pipeline and it is pulling the pipeline script from scm.
I set the branch specifier to \'all\', so it builds on any change to any bra

If you have a jenkinsfile for your pipeline, check if you see at execution time your branch name in your environment variables.

You can print them with:

pipeline {
    agent any

    environment {
        DISABLE_AUTH = 'true'
        DB_ENGINE    = 'sqlite'
    }

    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'printenv'
            }
        }
    }
}

However, PR 91 shows that the branch name is only set in certain pipeline configurations:

• Branch Conditional (see this groovy script)
• parallel branches pipeline (as seen by the OP)
