[SOLVED] bash script to check if the current git branch = "x"

Issue

I am very bad at shell scripting (with bash), I am looking for a way to check if the current git branch is "x", and abort the script if it is not "x".

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    CURRENT_BRANCH="$(git branch)"
    if [[ "$CURRENT_BRANCH" -ne "master" ]]; then
          echo "Aborting script because you are not on the master branch."
          return;      # I need to abort here!
    fi

    echo "foo"

but this is not quite right

Solution

Use git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD to get the name of the current branch.

Then it's only a matter of simply comparing values in your script:

BRANCH="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
if [[ "$BRANCH" != "x" ]]; then
  echo 'Aborting script';
  exit 1;
fi

echo 'Do stuff';
