Rename Git branch in session pane via UI #421
Description
Feature summary
Add the ability to change the name of the Git branch via UI
What problem are you trying to solve?
After writing my initial prompt in a new session, the GitHub Copilot App created a new branch / worktree.
I experimented with three sessions and in two instances, the session mentioned to grasp the session's intend and updated the branch name. However, in one of the cases, liebeck/crispy-invention was chosen
It is already possible to change the session name via UI
After "Rename session", can you please add a "Rename branch" (or whatever the correct naming is) as well?
