How to iterate among branches in git using BASH?

I am pretty new in Bash. On git, I have branches named like following (YYcwXX):

I want to iterate among them and store the one which has the latest current week number - e.g 21cw24 in a variable.

I'd use git branch to list the relevant branches, sort them, and use tail to take the last. Then, I'd just trim away whitespaces and store in a variable:

export MY_BRANCH=`git branch | grep 'version/' | sort | tail -1 | tr -d ' '`
