"Copy Branch Name to Clipboard" right-click option for sending branch info to coworkers

      I often want to tell other developers on my team to look at or pull a specific branch. I'll send this branch's text name via email or chat.

      This requires me to type out the branch name. If the branch name is long or complicated, typing it out is very annoying:

      /features/image_carousel/improvement_to_scrolling_hotpatch

      The Branch Sidebar's right-click menu should be given a "Copy Branch Name to Clipboard" option. This option will copy the branch's name to your clipboard.

      You can then paste the complicated branch name into your email or chat program.

      This would be similar to the "Copy SHA-1 to Clipboard" option when right-clicking a commit. Extremely useful command in both cases.

            I have written an script that takes care of this, by putting a big button next to the branch name of a ticket (with ticket number). It does not require any admin rights to Jira to use. Also I have added displaying the branch name in title of the browser tab. The script does not require any repository integrations to work:

            Would it be possible to move this to the bottom? There is no reason for this to be placed at the top of the right-click context menu.
