Description

The git.publish command would be very helpful to have in the API itself. Right now, push is very limited in that everything needs to already be set up for the user before we can push, but publish has a really great UI experience to help the user with everything.

Research direction
Start by examining the VSCode Git extension source code, particularly the 'git.publish' command implementation. Look at the existing Git API surface in extensions/git/src/api/git.d.ts and the command registration in extensions/git/src/commands.ts. Review the comments on this issue for any additional context or design decisions.
