Azure datafactory - Get current branch as parameter

Question

Am using Azure datafactory in combination with git:

During execution of a pipeline, can i get the current branch name as pipeline parameter, maybe like this:?

Wished output (additional column with branch name):

There is no dynamic for getting `Git branch name`. The meta information about pipeline is `System variables` only. — Pratik Lad, Nov 28 '22 at 09:23
