Branch Copier

Adds a copy-icon button to the status bar (bottom-left), next to VS Code's built-in Git branch indicator. Click it to copy the current branch name to the clipboard.

Copy branch name button

No more retyping or fat-fingering long branch names into commit messages, PR titles, or Slack — one click on the status bar copies the exact branch you're on. It's lightweight, stays out of your way, and works with any Git repository VS Code already recognizes.

Development

npm install
npm run compile

Then press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host.
