Question

Recently I’ve encountered a problem. I have an app that talks to the server. I want it to talk to different servers depending on what branch I’m on right now. I think the way for doing that is create a bash script which creates a .h file like

#define BRANCH @"{here goes branch name}"

The only thing is that I don’t know Bash. At all 🙁

Here is what I’ve tried

branch= git branch| grep '*'
echo $branch

Dunno what to do next… (By the way I’m using Xcode and running this in a “Runs script phase”)

Answer 1

This creates the file for the current branch:

current_branch=$(git branch --no-color | grep '*' | sed 's/^\*.//')
echo "#define BRANCH @\"$current_branch\"" > file.h

file.h would contain: #define BRANCH @"your current branch"
