This plugin provides a function which returns the name of the git branch.

:echo gitbranch#name()

You can use this function to integrate with statusline plugins.

For example, in order to show git branch using lightline.vim, configure as follows.

let g:lightline = {
 \ 'active': {
 \  'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste' ],
 \  [ 'gitbranch', 'readonly', 'filename', 'modified' ] ]
 \ },
 \ 'component_function': {
 \  'gitbranch': 'gitbranch#name'
 \ },
 \ }

See the README.md of lightline for further details.

Install with your favorite plugin manager.
