Add a config to disable generating PR title and body from commit

We want to have a config to disable #2835

Let's say you have this feature turned on, should we rather take the PR title from the branch title instead of taking from the commit? I've used this a few times now and it doesn't feel quite right as it is now.

I'll love to pick this up ( or help ) as well. I also created a related #2881 issue.
Where do we want to add the config?

Even if the PR has just 1 commit? The current behaviour is what Github also does and I find it to be intuitive for single commits. Doesn't make sense when there are more than 1 commit.

Is there a way to take or poll or something on what most developers prefer?

Right, the reason I am questioning the PR title is because in GitButler you likely already have a title for the branch, which you don't have when creating them from branches using the CLI or in GitHub. What do you think?

About the location, this should likely go under under "git stuff" in gitbutler-ui/src/routes/settings/+page.svelte.

Let me know if you need any help? I'll assign this ticket to you. :)

Yeah. It makes sense. If we already have a title for the branch, we can re use the same. How do you set the title for a branch ( I'm sorry for the dumb question, but I wasn't able to see a button anywhere )

Is something like this what you had in mind?

Things I need help with

• Finalizing the algorithm to use. Not sure what's the best way to discuss this and get the opinion of a wider spectrum of users.
• Text(Copy) for the config title
• Text(Copy) for the config description
• Do we need a Learn More like the above setting

Finalizing the algorithm is the most important part in my opinion. Once we have finalised it I can work up some proposals for the Config Title and Description ( If you have no specific standards it should stick to ) and we can iterate over them.
