git-branch-name's Issues

Lots of memory-safety issues

This app crashes in several situations. For example, read_file returns a dangling pointer. Running this through valgrind shows several other memory issues.

On error, exit 1

Thanks for this project. I'm using it to speed up zsh prompts.

But, please exit 1 when not in a git repository:

if (get_git_dir(path) < 0) {
    return 0;
}

...should be...

if (get_git_dir(path) < 0) {
    return 1;
}

This makes it slightly easier to use from shell scripts.
