[Feature Request] Add new system variable for shell/terminal intergration

I am using SourceGit with Windows 11, and sometimes I need to manipulate directly the repository.
Therefore, I use the functionality "open in Terminal", which works great.

As I have many projects in parallel, it often happens that I have multiple terminal open, which is not a problem.
It would be great if I could directly name the terminal with the repository name.
For now I rename the terminal by hand, which is working but not "comfortable".
It would be great it there is a variable which contains the repository local name (e.g. REPRO_NAME).
This way I could change the Terminal arguments to pass set tab name in Windows Terminal: -d . --title "$REPRO_NAME"

I think this should be a very simple improvement.

If you are using PowerShell, you can create a file named Profile.ps1 in $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\. And fill it with following content:

function CustomizeTitle {
  $folderName = Split-Path -Leaf (Get-Location)
  $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "$folderName"
  Clear-Host
}
CustomizeTitle

feature: support to use `$FOLDER_NAME` when opening terminal (#2760)

You can download and test the latest CI build from GitHub Action.

@love-linger sorry for the late reply.

The folder name is not really what I want, I want the "New Name" I have defined in SourceGit, with the "Edit" dialog
