Description

🕋 Website

After you run through the OS, Cuda version etc. on the getting started page, you are presented with the command line to run. However, the user is forced to manually place their cursor, drag to highlight, and then ctrl-c to actually get the command.
A minor usability improvement would be to have a copy to clipboard option to make it a one click process and get the user on their way to installing faster.

To Reproduce

visit https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally
PIck a relevant config such as Nightly / Linux / 11.3 etc. to get to where you are at "Run This Command".
Note how the only way to copy the final command is to manually mouse in, get to the first char, highlight the entire sequence and then copy.

Expected behavior

A copy to clipboard icon on the right hand of the 'run this command' to easily copy and then put into my terminal to run the install.

Screenshots

current setup on pytorch.org with area of improvement:
auto_clipboard_pytorch

jax site with copy to clipboard function:
jax_clipboard

Desktop (please complete the following information):

chrome browser but not really applicable

Additional context

not a huge issue, but would add some nice polish to the site.

Add a copy-to-clipboard control beside the command, and verify that it copies the displayed install command for the selected configuration.
