Is it possible to know which branch is checked out via VS Code API?

[nbransby]

We can know the current repository from workspace.workspaceFolders[0].uri which give vscode-vfs://github/microsoft/vscode-remote-repositories-github)

But is it possible to know which branch is active? In the case of vs web running in the browser we can test the window.location which gives https://github.dev/microsoft/vscode-remote-repositories-github/tree/main but what about when running in VS Code desktop?

There's no API for this at the moment.
