Description

Hi, I have really liked using gitu so far!
But one thing I miss from lazygit is being able to copy the title and message of a commit.

My usecase is following: sometimes when making a MR to gitlab repos, if the MR has multiple patches, i like to copy the full commit message to the description field.

I would not mind trying to implement this myself, if it's something the maintainer(s) dont mind having.

Implementation wise, i think i could just copy the text that we see in the application, but i wonder if theres some git command we can do this too?
