Add "copy branch name" (icon) on dropdown branch selector

[sgabenov]

Feature Description

I want to have ability to easy copy branch name with dropdown menu. Now i can only do this from URL link after selecting the necessary branch

I expect to add this copy button as on the attached mock.
Also, add a context menu "copy branch name" when you click on ... button (button not yet available/implemented)

As well add it here

Yes, seems useful to have. In the dropdown, the icon should show only on hover like the current RSS button does.

I don't think dropdown is a good place to do that but branches and tags should be better places.

I don't think dropdown is a good place to do that but branches and tags should be better places.

This is the way it is done in Bitbucket and i can say it is much easier to do, then go into "brunch" menu

I can take it forward. Assign me.

There are some observation in different platforms like Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket and bunch of more platform.
I have observed they all have copy option for branch name. They don't have copy option for tags.

As a UX prespective for tags we don't need copy option.

By above observation I am suggsting the following UI changes, I know they might not align with UX point of way.But they are simplest to make quick.

Here is my suggestions:

When Hover on Copy

When Clicked on Copy

Code changes in files:-

<button class="btn interact-bg gt-p-3" data-clipboard-text="{{.Name}}" data-tooltip-content="{{$.locale.Tr "repo.branch.copy_branch_name"}}">{{svg "octicon-copy"}}</button>

Translations:-
en-US.ini

[repo]
branch.copy_branch_name = Copy Branch Name

@silverwind @delvh
I am open for any UI/UX suggestion which work the best.

@puni9869 seems good there as we should have enough space, but please test with long branch names to be sure. Otherwise, I'm happy to accept a PR for that.

[puni9869]

Are you referring this use case.
This is the long text branch name. We are not showing branch name in Tippy popup.

[silverwind]

yes, looks good. There is plenty of space for more buttons with such ellipsis, so we can add it.

[puni9869]

Please correct me if I am going in different direction.

Here you want to add the copy button, Near the branch name/

But, There is a problem with UI, We need to modify this tag with every screen set. That will be a tricky effort. I am not worry about the effort. But that will be unnecessary to do for such small thing.

Decision is all yours.

[silverwind]

No, I did not mean that. Just go with your original suggestion. I was just worrying that the extra button may cause issues with the table layout, but it doesn't.

Cool, Pr is coming ASAP. Thanks a ton for immediate support.
