   Hey, maybe I don't know much about gitk, what technology stack does it need? I see the 10,000 lines of shell script code under gitk-git, and I don't know where to start.
   Can you give me some guide?

   Hello, this gitk GUI obviously is one big Tcl/Tk language script. The shell feeds it to the wish (GUI targeted as compared to tclsh) interpreter. I used TCL many many years back in a lab a little. not really into that anymore, but its rather simple and centered around string handling.

   As this REQ is about sth similar to what already exists for branches, you may start from here and see how it works:

   https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/blob/master/gitk-git/gitk#L2679

       makemenu $headctxmenu {
           {mc "Check out this branch" command cobranch}
           {mc "Rename this branch" command mvbranch}
           {mc "Remove this branch" command rmbranch}
           {mc "Copy branch name" command {clipboard clear; clipboard append $headmenuhead}}
       }
