Is there a git command that returns the current project name?

Question

Does git have a built-in command for showing the name of the current remote project? Right now I\'m using this:

git remote -v | head -n1 | awk \'{print $2}\' | s         


        

Answer 1

The remote url or the folder in which the git repo is kept can be anything as far as Git is concerned. So you do not have a built-in way for checking this. Git cannot identify what the name of the project is. You have to ( or the owner of the project). Usually, this will be in the form of a README or some similar file checked into the repository that gives the name of the project.
