Copy Branch Name UI

Type: Feature Request

I can not find a way to copy a branch name with the UI anywhere. All help files I can find related to the issue seem outdated and reference older versions of VS Code. The only way I've been able to copy a branch name is by using the terminal. It's possible this exists somewhere, but it is very well hidden if so.

VS Code version: Code 1.128.0 (fc3def6774c76082adf699d366f31a557ce5573f, 2026-07-07T15:14:24-07:00)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631
