How to delete the remote Git branch via the Command Palette(Ctrl+Shift+P) in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I want to delete the remote branch in Visual Studio Code but it seems like it's not supported.

GitLens supports Delete Branch (via Terminal) but I want to do it from the Command Palette.

I tried finding the extension but couldn't find one.

Can anyone suggest how can I delete remote branches via the command palette in Visual Studio Code?

Currently, as shown in vscode-gitlens issue 385, this is done only though terminal:

• Go to Source Control view (Ctrl + Shift + G) and expand the GITLENS section in the sidebar
• Find branch to delete under Remotes (e.g. geolocation)
• Right click on branch and choose Delete Branch (via Terminal)

Text entered into terminal reads: git push origin :aRemoteBranch

That remains (Q1 2019) the official way to delete a remote branch.
