How do you get the Git repository's name in some Git repository?

Question

When you are working in some Git directory, how can you get the Git repository name in some Git repository? Are there any Git commands?

Answer 1

Other answers still won't work when the name of your directory does not correspond to remote repository name (and it could). You can get the real name of the repository with something like this:

git remote show origin -n | grep "Fetch URL:" | sed -E "s#^.*/(.*)$#\1#" | sed "s#.git$##"

Basically, you call git remote show origin, take the repository URL from "Fetch URL:" field, and regex it to get the portion with name: https://github.com/dragn/neat-vimrc.git
